Chandigarh: Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) former national secretary Umed Singh Lohan on Wednesday joined the Congress in the presence of ex-CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda and his son Deepender Hooda here. The JJP had expelled Lohan from the party during the Assembly elections. He was upset as the JJP had given ticket to Ram Kumar Gautam from Narnaund. Before the JJP, Lohan was with the Indian National Lok Dal. Lohan said the JJP joined hands with the BJP, though it used to oppose the party’s ideology. “It is a fraud with people, especially those from Deswali belt,” he said. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.
