Chandigarh, January 17

Former jail minister Sarwan Singh Phillaur and his son Damanvir Phillaur on Monday joined the Shiromani Akali Dal (Sanyukt).

He is likely to contest from Phillaur.

Phillaur was minister in the SAD-BJP government (2012-17) but he resigned in 2014 when his son’s name figured in the multi-crore drug scam.

He later joined the Congress.

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).
