Tarn Taran, February 2

Congress MLA and Khadoor Sahib nominee Ramanjit Sikki heaved a sigh of relief after the nomination of Harpinder Singh and Gursant Updesh Gill were rejected during the scrutiny process today.

Harpinder is the brother and Gursant is the son of Congress MP Jasbir Singh Dimpa.

Both of them had filed their papers on Tuesday as Congress candidates, but failed to show the authority letter issued by the party to Returning Officer Deepak Bhatia, who confirmed the rejection.

Papers of ex-MLA Ravinder Brahampura were also rejected. He had filed his papers as SAD candidate. —

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).
