Chandigarh, January 4

Senior Akali leader and retired bureaucrat Darbara Singh Guru joined the Congress on Friday—a day after he stepped down from the Akali Dal.

Darbara Singh Guru formerly served as the principal secretary to SAD patriarch Parkash Singh Badal when he was chief minister, Channi made the announcement through a tweet on Friday,

“I welcome S. Darbara Singh Guru, Senior Akali Dal Leader and former Principal Secretary to former Chief Minister S. Parkash Singh Badal into the party fold. I am sure his induction will further help us strengthen the party at grass-root level,” Channi’s tweet said.

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).
