The Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee on Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution backing Rahul Gandhi for the post of the party president.

Representatives of the Congress committee requested Gandhi to file nomination for the post of the Congress president while considering “sentiments of all”, said the resolution.

Haryana Congress chief Udai Bhan said the resolution to make him the party’s national president was unanimously passed.

“In the meeting, we urged Rahul Gandhiji to file nomination for the post of the president,” said Bhan.

Earlier, Pradesh Congress Committees of Gujarat, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan had passed similar resolutions.

The Congress had last month announced that the elections for its president will be held on October 17. The result will be declared on October 19.

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).
