Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Thursday released a list of the party’s working committee members, which includes educationists and experts on Sikh affairs.

The working committee of the party will have 97 members. Additionally, 20 senior leaders have been included as special invitees. For the first time, 16 senior women leaders have been inducted into the party’s highest decision-making body. The committee also includes several young leaders.

Baldev Singh Khehra, senior leader from Phillaur, Tajinder Singh Sanghreri, a senior leader from Sangrur, and Principal Ranjit Singh from Ludhiana have also been named as special invitees. With this, the total number of special invitees comes to 22.

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).
