Former AAP MLA from Dakha and human rights lawyer Harvinder Singh Phoolka on Saturday announced his decision to return to politics by joining SAD.

Phoolka had resigned from the Assembly in October 2018, citing a conflict between his political role and his legal efforts for the victims of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. Phoolka revealed that he would be the first to join the SAD once the seven-member committee formed by the Akal Takht opens new membership. “Punjab needs a strong regional party to address its unique challenges. The current leadership of SAD has acknowledged its past mistakes, creating a new opportunity to rebuild trust and expand its membership,” he stated.

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).
