A month after Bhojpuri singer and actor Pawan Singh declined to contest the Lok Sabha poll from West Bengal’s Asansol constituency, he announced on Wednesday that he would contest the elections from Bihar’s Karakat seat as an Independent candidate.

Singh was initially named in the BJP’s first list of candidates for the General Election. He will now contest the Karakat seat against Rashtriya Lok Morcha chief and NDA candidate Upendra Kushwaha, and CPI-ML candidate Raja Ram Kushwaha.

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.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
