Jalandhar, April 26

The campaigning for the Jalandhar Lok Sabha bypoll got slowed down here today.

While the campaigining for SAD-BSP candidate Dr Sukhwinder Sukhi and BJP candidate Inder Iqbal Atwal came to a complete halt, the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party kept it low key.

All SAD-BSP leaders had left for Chandigarh after hearing the news. Candidate Dr Sukhi remained present at the party office in Chandigarh this morning.

Similarly, the BJP had also announced it last evening that all rallies and programmes for Wednesday would remain suspended.

Aam Aadmi Party candidate Sushil Rinku also cancelled his roadshow that was scheduled in Kartarpur. “Since there is beating of drums and a lot of sound work involved in roadshows, we chose to cancel it. We only organised small meetings at some locations as our alternative plan”, said a party leader.

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).
