Jalandhar, February 19

Otherwise a Panthic, secluded seat, Sultanpur Lodhi has emerged as one of the most happening constituencies in Doaba. Sitting Congress MLA Navtej Cheema was riding high on development works carried out for the historic occasion of 550th Parkash Purb of Guru Nanak. But the entry of Minister Rana Gurjeet Singh’s son Inder Partap Singh (42) into his constituency made him extremely uncomfortable.

Ever since Cheema along with four other MLAs of Doaba took the cudgels to the high command last year against Rana Gurjeet Singh’s re-induction into the Cabinet, he perhaps sowed the thorns for himself. Rana Inder Partap intruded into the constituency as an entrepreneur who had come to help farmers, but eventually nurtured plans to give a fight to his father’s arch rival in the party. —

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).
