Washington, May 5

US President Joe Biden has announced his intent to appoint Indian-American lawyer-diplomat Richard Verma, also a former US ambassador to India, as a member of his Intelligence Advisory Board.

The President’s Intelligence Advisory Board (PIAB) is an independent element within his Executive Office.

According to a White House statement on Wednesday, President Biden has announced his intent to appoint Verma to his Intelligence Advisory Board.

Verma, 53, is currently the general counsel and head of Global Public Policy for Mastercard. In this role, he oversees the company’s law and policy functions in the United States and around the world.

Verma, a member of Biden’s Democratic Party, was the US Ambassador to India from 2014 to 2017.

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).
