Chandigarh, August 4

Six Congress leaders today resigned from the primary membership of the party.

Those who resigned included Jagdeep Mahajan, Rajneesh Bhardwaj, Charanjeet Sharma (all former general secretaries of the city unit of the Congress), Dinesh Sharma (former vice-president), Harvinder Singh Goldy (former secretary), and S Beant Singh (vice-president).

The disgruntled members blamed former MP and senior Congress leader Pawan Kumar Bansal for the move.

Earlier, former president of Chandigarh Congress Pardeep Chhabra’s close aide Sandeep Bhardwaj had also tendered his resignation.

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).
