Chandigarh, December 30

The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Thursday expelled former MLA Mohinder Kaur Josh for rebelling against the party. Josh, a former Chief Parliamentary Secretary, organised a parallel rally at Bullowal in Hoshiarpur against party president Sukhbir Singh Badal’s rally in support of an SAD-BSP candidate in Sham Chaurasi today. “Today Sukhbir Badal is talking about expelling me from the party, which has no meaning as I had said goodbye to the party when I was denied the ticket,” she said.

This is the first open rebellion against the party in the run-up to the 2022 Assembly elections. A spokesperson for the SAD said Josh was causing indiscipline over denial of ticket to her. — TNS

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).
