Chandigarh, February 16

Aam Aadmi Party’s political campaign is embracing popular culture. The latest in their kitty is the popular ‘Shark Tank’.

In a salvo meant for rival Congress, AAP used controversial shark Ashneer Grover’s “wahiyad product” to describe the Congress party on February 13 as a superimposed Channi stands before him.

“Punjab Voters describing 5 years of Congress rule,” the caption says.

A second meme two days later shows superimposed Arvind Kejriwal’s face on another shark boAt’s Aman Gupta.

“Indians: We want World-class Education, Quality Healthcare, 24×7 Free Bijli, etc,” the caption says.

“Haan main de dunga. Aap tension mat lo,” Kejriwal-Gupta says.

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).
