Jalandhar, March 21

Ahead of the Jalandhar Lok Sabha seat bypoll, former District Congress Committee (Rural) chief Darshan S Tahli on Tuesday left his party to join teh Aam Aadmi Party.

Tahli had been demanding ticket for himself from the seat which was announced for Karamjit Kaur Chaudhary, wife of deceased Jalandhar MP Santokh Chaudhary.

He had even organised a show of strength when the party had been finalising the ticket. However, the party leadership reportedly ignored him post his demand. Tahli hails from Shahkot area of Jalandhar and was DCC rural chief ahead of 2022 Assembly poll.

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).
