New Delhi, October 18

Former Delhi MLA from AAP, Avtar Singh Kalkaji, today joined the Shiromani Akali Dal in the presence of party president Sukhbir Badal.

Kalkaji accused AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal of continuously working against the interests of the Sikh community in Delhi and added that this was the main reason for his quitting the party.

“Kejriwal himself stopped observing religious Sikh anniversaries in Delhi and created obstacles in the way of release of Prof Davinder Pal Singh Bhullar,” he said.

Addressing the Delhi unity of his party, SAD chief Badal asked all leaders who had parted ways with the Akali Dal to return to the party. He also attacked Mann over his alleged silence on the statement of Punjab Rajya Sabha MP Sandeep Pathak, “who has upheld Haryana’s right over SYL canal waters”.

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).
