Abohar, May 30

SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal today visited Abohar second time in less than a week on the birth anniversary of Arut Ji Maharaj, the founder of the Hindu Arora community. The visit raised many eyebrows since Sukhbir during his term as Deputy CM had attended only two government functions here.

Also, the Akali Dal separately celebrated Arut Ji Maharaj Jayanti for the first time. Last week, the Ferozepur MP was trolled on social media for ignoring Abohar people during the battle against Covid. The move gives credence to the speculation that the SAD was finally preparing to field non-Sikh candidates in the next Vidhan Sabha elections in the district.

In 2017 polls, the BJP had played the ‘Arora card’ as its nominee Arun Narang belongs to the community. It now appears that the SAD is mulling playing the same card, feel analysts. — OC

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).
