Ludhiana, August 9

A newly launched political outfit of traders — Bharatiya Aarthik Party (BAP) — today extended support to farmer leader Gurnam Singh Charuni, asking him to lead the party in the upcoming Assembly elections under “Mission Punjab 2022”. The traders said Charuni would be their CM face.

At a meeting, a group of traders, led by party president Tarun Jain Bawa, said the party would support Charuni in the elections. Charuni, however, said they had not formed a political party yet, but were moving in that direction.

He said: “Under ‘Mission Punjab 2022’, we want to introduce honest people in politics by rejecting political parties that have been looting and introducing wrong policies. The traders today extended their support to me for the mission.” — TNS

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).
