Jai Krishan Singh Rouri was today elected the Deputy Speaker of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha. His name was proposed by Talwandi Sabo MLA Baljinder Kaur and his candidature was seconded by Finance Minister Harpal Cheema.

Rouri is an MLA from Garhshankar and a two-time AAP MLA. A man from a humble background, he was a videographer and also did farming. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann congratulated him on his election.

MLAs from all parties congratulated him. Dr Raj Kumar Chabbewal of the Congress, Dr Sukhwinder Sukhi of the SAD and Ashwani Sharma of the BJP assured him full support.

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).
