The Apni Party on Wednesday released its first list of eight candidates for the upcoming Assembly elections in the UT. The list was recommended by Mohammad Dilawar Mir, chairman of the party’s parliamentary affairs committee, and was approved by party president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari, the party spokesperson said.

The party manifesto was released at a press conference here by party’s general secretary Rafi Mir, who will contest from the Pahalgam constituency, along with other senior leaders. Other nominees fielded by the party include Hilal Ahmad Shah, who will try his luck from Anantnag, Tariq Shah Veeri from Bijbehara and Abdul Majeed Padder from D H Pora, he said.

Party leader Riyaz Ahmad Bhat will contest from Devsar, Gowher Hassan Wani from Zainapora, Mir Altaf from Pampore and Owais Khan from Shopian, he added.

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).
