Khursheed Ahmad Sheikh, brother of the jailed head of Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) and Member of Parliament (MP) Engineer Abdul Rashid, will contest the Assembly poll from the Langate constituency.

The AIP released a list of nine candidates on Saturday — Muneer Khan from Uri, Mohammad Muzaffar Dar from Rafiabad, Advocate Mursaleen from Sopore, Peerzada Firdous from Kupwara, Adil Nazir Khan from Gulmarg, Jehangeer Khan from Khansahib, Khursheed Ahmad Sheikh from Langate, Abdul Majid Banday from Handwara and Ashok Kumar Raina from Chamb.

Abdul Rashid himself used to contest from Langate in the erstwhile state of J&K. Khursheed Ahmad Sheikh has been a teacher for the past two decades and recently took voluntary retirement to contest in the Assembly elections.

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).
