New Delhi, June 17

Three Punjab Ekta Party MLAs – former Leader of Opposition (Punjab) Sukhpal Singh Khaira (MLA Bholath), Jagdev Singh (MLA Maur), and Pirmal Singh (MLA Bhadaur) met Congress leader Rahul Gandhi at the latter’s 12 Tughlaq Lane residence here and announced the party’s merger in the Congress.

Khaira, a former Congressman, had joined AAP in December 2015.

He returned to the Congress on June 4 saying AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal is a dictator.

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).
