Jalandhar, January 30

Out on bail, post his arrest in a case lodged by the ED, Bholath ex-MLA and local Congress candidate Sukhpal Khaira on Saturday reached his home constituency Bholath.

Khaira reached his home at Ramgarh village in the noon after which he set out on a roadshow. His supporters, who largely included youths, showered flower petals on him. They played dhol, burst crackers, hoisted party flags and shouted slogans for him.

His show culminated at Nadala Mandi where he delivered a speech, thanking his supporters for standing by him in tough times. He blamed Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, minister Rana Gurjeet Singh and the BJP leadership for targeting him. He is likely to file his papers on Monday. —

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).
