Jalandhar, May 10

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) today alleged that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) openly flouted the Election Commission (EC) norms to influence the voters in its favour.

Former minister Dr Daljit Singh Cheema said AAP MLAs from other segments were seem roaming in Jalandhar. He said even AAP party workers from outside Jalandhar were seen manning polling booths in the villages and towns to influence and pressurise the electorate.

Cheema said the police remained a mute spectator and the Returning Officer failed to act on the complaints filed by 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).
