Chandigarh, July 22

Amritpal Singh’s election from Khadoor Sahib parliamentary constituency was today challenged in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, among other things, on the ground of “concealment of required particulars in the affidavit filed with the nomination papers”.

In his petition, Vikramjit Singh, who contested the elections, also alleged violation of the election expenditure rules, “including non-disclosure of expenses on voter slips, public meetings, vehicles, social media, and paid news”.

He also sought the setting aside of the election on the allegations that the returned candidate engaged in corrupt practices by seeking votes on religious grounds and using religious places for campaign purposes.

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).
