Fatehgarh Sahib, December 24

A day after PCC president Navjot Singh Sidhu announced during a rally at Bassi Pathana that only one ticket would be given in one family, Dr Manohar Singh, brother of CM Charanjit Singh Channi, said he appreciated the decision of the Congress high command but added that brothers and sisters could not be called as “immediate family members”.

He said he was the brother of the CM but had his own family and had been living with them in a separate house. He said he would apply for the Congress ticket from Bassi Pathana and wanted to be allotted it on merit as he had been serving the constituency for a long time. — OC

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).
