Chandigarh, April 19

Former BJP state president and ex-Union MoS Vijay Sampla has invited party workers in Hoshiarpur at 4 pm today. He said, “There is no plan to join Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) as of today”, adding that the future course of action depends on the response from workers at the meeting.

Miffed over not getting BJP ticket from the Hoshiarpur Lok Sabha seat, Sampla reportedly held a meeting with the Akali leadership on Thursday after which he was “called to Delhi by the BJP high command for talks”.

A series of three tweets that Sampla posted, and removing “Modi ka parivar” from his X account, led to speculations that he was in talks with other parties.

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).
