Patiala, January 17

Former Patiala mayor Vishnu Sharma on Monday rejoined the Congress.

PPCC chief Navjot Singh Sidhu welcomed him into the party fold.

Sharma had quit the Congress following differences with Capt Amarinder Singh and his wife Preneet Kaur.

A former mayor during the Congress government in the state in 2003, Sharma is eyeing the Congress ticket from Patiala urban where the Congress is yet to field a candidate to take on the former CM, who quit the Congress to form his Punjab Lok Congress.

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).
