The Congress got a major fillip in Sangrur as many key Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) office-bearers and workers joined the party during an event organised by former Cabinet minister Vijayinder Singla.

“The Congress family has received a major boost today. I assure every single member that they will receive due respect and responsibility within the Congress party. We will take the ‘vote chori (theft)’ issue to every household, and expose the reality of BJP before the public,” said Singla.

Among those who joined the Congress were Hari Singh former chairman, Block Samiti Phaguwala; Satnam Singh Harditpura, district secretary; Aman Jheneri, district president, sports wing among others.

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).
