Chandigarh, June 1

Former PPCC chief Navjot Singh Sidhu and SAD leader Bikram Majithia on Thursday shared a warm hug setting aside their years-long resentment.

At an all-party meeting held in support of Daily Ajit’s Editor-in-Chief S Barjinder Singh Hamdard at Ajit Bhawan in Jalandhar, Majithia walked towards Sidhu who was addressing the event attendees from the dais. Seeing Majithia approaching him, Sidhu too moved towards him and the duo tenderly embraced each other setting aside all their past grievances.

Political leaders from all opposition parties gathered to condemn Mann government’s move after it summoned the editor-in-chief of the Punjabi newspaper Ajit last week in a vigilance inquiry.

The two rivals had unrelentingly attacked each other over last few years. They also contested against each other from Amritsar East seat in Punjab Assembly elections.

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).
