Ambala (Haryana), December 28

In a setback to the AAP in Haryana, two of its senior leaders have quit the party, sources said on Thursday.

Nirmal Singh, a former minister and the AAP’s national joint secretary, and Chitra Sarwara—a vice-president in the party’s Haryana unit—have submitted their resignations, they said.

The two leaders’ resignations come before next year’s Assembly elections in the state and the Lok Sabha polls.

Singh and his daughter Sarwara joined the AAP about a year-and-a-half ago.

The sources said that while both cited “personal reasons” in their resignation letters sent to the AAP’s Haryana chief Sushil Gupta, both Singh and Sarwara are set to join the Congress in the coming weeks.

They had earlier been with the Congress before quitting the party.

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).
