New Delhi, January 31

The Congress has resumed discussions on nominations for the Adampur and Khadoor Sahib seats. It may field former MP Mohinder Singh Kaypee, replacing Sukhwinder Singh Kotli whose name figured in the first list of candidates on January 15.

The Congress said it was also discussing the Khadoor Sahib seat where two-time MLA Ramanjit Sikki has already been fielded. AICC sources said sitting Congress MP from Khadoor Sahib JS Gill had sought the seat for himself or his son Updesh.

Sources, however, said it was not easy to replace a sitting MLA, who “was also popular”. —

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).
