Chandigarh, December 28

Congress MLA from Qadian, Fateh Singh Bajwa, on Tuesday joined the BJP.

Another Congress MLA from Sri Hargobindpur, Balwinder Laddi, and a close associate of Fateh Bajwa, also joined the BJP.

Both were sitting MLAs and were likely to be denied party tickets.

A senior leader said apprehensions of the BJP poaching on sitting MLAs proved true. Sources have not ruled out more joining the party in the coming days.

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).
