Tarn Taran, March 14

A nobody in the political circles until he was fielded as a candidate for Assembly elections, Cabinet Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar was the obvious choice for LS poll.

Even though AAP had won seven of the nine Assembly segments in Khadoor Sahib LS constituency, Bhullar is the only Cabinet minister from the area.

Bhullar had defeated Congress leader Harminder Singh Bhullar and SAD stalwart Adesh Partap Singh Kairon to reach Vidhan Sabha. Bhullar, a 42-year-old, has a rural background and practiced agriculture and was a commission agent (arthiya) for livelihood.

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).
