Representatives of Hindu Arora and Sikh Arora community, owing allegiance to different political parties, today sought representation in the newly-formed Aam Aadmi Party government.

Community leaders said none of the 11 AAP legislators from the Arora community had got a berth in the Cabinet that was sworn in yesterday.

“Our community has been struggling to get its due share in the state politics for a long time. As many as 11 MLAs of the Arora community have been elected on AAP tickets. Even then none of them has been included in the Cabinet,” community leader Inderjit Singh Bajaj said.

AAP trade wing leader Pankaj Narula said a resolution in this regard on behalf of the Arora community would be sent to Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal.

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).
