Kapurthala, March 14

Bibi Jagir Kaur rejoined the Shiromani Akali Dal in the presence of party chief Sukhbir Badal at Begowal here on Thursday.

Party spokesperson Daljit Cheema formally announced her re-entry into the party.

Kaur said she is joining unconditionally. “I was Akali, I am Akali, I will remain Akali,” she said while urging Badal to pardon her in case she had used some harsh words in the past.

Badal said Jagir Kaur was family. “For me, it was as if she had gone abroad. I used to call her every three months.”

Badal urged all factions to rejoin SAD.

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).
