New Delhi, May 5

Charanjit Singh Atwal, former speaker of the Punjab Assembly, joined the BJP in the presence of party national president JP Nadda, in Delhi.

On April 19, Atwal resigned from the primary membership of the Akali Dal.

Atwal was the Deputy Speaker of the 14th Lok Sabha from 2004 to 2009.

He represented the Phillaur constituency of Punjab in the 14th Lok Sabha and was a member of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). He was also the Speaker of the Punjab Assembly twice.

Charanjit’s son Inder Iqbal Singh Atwal, along with several others from Punjab, joined the BJP in New Delhi on Sunday.

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).
