The BJP on Sunday suspended Chanderprakash Kathuria, a special invitee to the party’s state executive committee, from the primary membership of the party for six years.

Karnal-based Kathuria’s membership was suspended by BJP Haryana unit president Subhash Barala, as per an official statement issued by Gulshan Bhatia, the office secretary at the state BJP headquarters here.

Kathuria, who was the chairman of Sugarfed, recently courted controversy as he fell and injured himself while trying to descend from the second-floor balcony of an apartment in Chandigarh with the help of a cloth.

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).
