Chandigarh, April 12

Singer Shubhadeep Singh Sidhu, aka Sidhu Moosewala, who unsuccessfully contested on Congress candidate from Mansa in the recent elections, has courted a new controversy by calling voters “gaddar” in his song for choosing AAP. Jails Minister Harjot Singh Bains tweeted: “Sidhu Moosewala seems to have lost his mind.” MLA Jagdeep Goldy called him “frustrated”. Minister Laljit Bhullar said, “We will reopen the case showing Moosewala in possession of AK-47.”

AAP spokesperson Malwinder Kang said, “PCC chief Raja Warring should clarify whether Moosewala’s statement was from the Congress. If not, then what action the Congress has initiated against him?” —

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).
