The Akali Dal (Waris Punjab De) on Sunday pitched jailed Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh, currently lodged in an Assam jail, as the party's CM candidate for the 2027 Assembly poll.

The announcement was made at a Baisakhi conference held by the party at Talwandi Sabo, where Faridkot MP Sarabjit Singh Khalsa urged party activists to work diligently over the next a year and half to promote Amritpal Singh's ideals and ensure his election as the Chief Minister in 2027. Tarsem Singh, father of Amritpal Singh, stressed the need for greater autonomy for Punjab, advocating more powers to the state to address regional concerns effectively.

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).
