Abohar, February 19

The AAP, SAD and BJP have used their full might to prevent entry of Balram Jakhar’s grandson Sandeep Jakhar into the Vidhan Sabha. Since 1972, Jakhars have won seven Assembly poll.

The BJP held the last and third rally of PM Narendra Modi in Abohar, which is in Ferozepur parliamentary constituency. Sahi Ram, who had won as a Jan Sangh candidate in 1957, was invited for the rally reportedly to influence the Bishnoi community in Balluana segment.

SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal campaigned vigorously in Abohar and criticised Jakhars. AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal also held his last roadshow in Abohar on Friday. Sandeep has been banking on the support of youngsters and women as a debutant. —

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).
