The Congress on Monday announced two more candidates for Punjab for the upcoming Lok Sabha election.

As per the list, which also includes candidates for Bihar, the Congress has fielded Yamini Gomar from Hoshiarpur Lok Sabha seat while Amarjit Kaur Sahoke is the party candidate from Faridkot.

Yamini Gomar is a former AAP leader, who unsuccessfully contested the 2014 general election from Hoshiarpur.

A Dalit social activist, Gomar had received over 2.13 lakh votes, standing third on the seat which was won by BJP’s Vijay Sampla.

She had quit the AAP in 2016, alleging that it had become “dictatorial and corrupt”.

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).
