Kapurthala, January 17

Cabinet Minister Rana Gurjeet Singh’s son Rana Inder Partap Singh, 41, has decided to contest as an Independent from Sultanpur Lodhi. While the minister’s home constituency is Kapurthala, his son had been seeking party ticket from adjoining Sultanpur Lodhi, which went to sitting MLA Navtej Cheema.

The minister said: “My son is a fighter. He will stand firm on his resolve. He will not leave the ground.” Targeting PCC chief Navjot Singh Sidhu, who had been supporting sitting MLA Navtej Cheema, the minister said: “Raising a question mark on Channi’s continuation as the CM can prove suicidal. The issue of CM face was already settled three months ago. There is no need for further debate.” Rana Inder Partap said: “I’m not a rebel candidate. I am standing up for people who have faced oppression due to false FIRs.” —

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).
