Patiala, March 21

As many as 13 out of the 117 MLAs elected in the 16th Punjab Vidhan Sabha were students of Punjabi University, Patiala. This includes Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Finance minister Harpal Singh Cheema and Health minister Dr Vijay Singla, among others.

CM Mann did BCom from a college in Sunam while Malerkotla MLA Mohammad Jameel Ur Rehman completed his PhD in 2015-16. Budhlada MLA Principal Budhram did postgraduation from the campus, Fatehgarh MLA Lakhvir Singh completed LLB, Talwandi Sabo MLA Baljinder Kaur did MPhil and Patiala MLA Ajit Pal Kohli completed MA in political science.

Payal MLA Manvinder Singh Giaspura, Rajpura MLA Neena Mittal, Rampura Phul MLA Balkar Sidhu, Sangrur MLA Narinder Kaur Bharaj and Amargarh MLA Jaswant Singh also studied at the university. —

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).
