Muktsar, February 2

Ex-MLA Bhai Harnirpal Singh ‘Kuku’, his son and Congress’ Kotkapura segment incharge Bhai Rahul Singh Sidhu and Finance Minister Manpreet Badal’s cousins — PCC general secretary Jagjit Singh Honey Fattanwala and Faridkot Sugar Mill ex-chairman Manjit Singh Fattanwala — rejoined the SAD on Wednesday.

SAD chief Sukhbir Badal said the party would get a major boost in Muktsar, Faridkot and neighbouring districts. Both the families had left the SAD in 2010 and 2012, respectively. Bhai Rahul and Fattanwala both were denied the party ticket, after which they quit 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).
