Chandigarh, October 20

The ‘ghar wapsi’ of several former Congress leaders finally came through in an event at Punjab Congress Bhavan here on Friday.

Barring former minister Sunder Sham Arora, most of the leaders who had joined the BJP have returned. Those who were inducted into the party today include Balbir Singh Sidhu, Gurpreet Kangar, Raj Kumar Verka, Mohinder Rinwa, Hans Raj Josan and former Akali leader Jeet Mohinder Sidhu.

Besides, Kamaljeet Dhillon, son of former MLA Amrik Singh Dhillon, also joined the Congress. PPCC chief Warring said: “The addition of these individuals to our ranks acts as an acknowledgment of our dedicated endeavours for the betterment of the state. Our doors are open to anyone who wishes to assist the state in its prosperity.”

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).
