AAP on Sunday attacked the BJP and stated that it had been creating confusion among people regarding non-local voters to tilt the Assembly election results in its favour. Former minister and senior AAP leader Harsh Dev Singh said, “Sections 19 and 20 of the Representation of Peoples Act (RPA), 1950, are being misinterpreted in view of their hazy, abstruse nature so as to justify the proposed registration of outsiders in the J&K voter list.”

Singh said the law nowhere stated that a person could get himself registered as a voter outside his parent state or UT merely on the ground that he had been working in connection with his profession out of his own state.

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).
