Chandigarh, November 14

The inability of the JJP to finalise the name of its legislator for Cabinet berth has led speculation about the alleged differences within the party.

The non-inclusion of either Ram Kumar Gautam (Narnaud) or Ishwar Singh (Guhla Cheeka) in the Cabinet from the JJP quota has reportedly not gone well with some of its legislators. From the JJP, only Anoop Dhanak was sworn in as MoS and attached to Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala in the Labour and Employment Department.

Reports said the BJP had certain reservations about inclusion of Gautam, who defeated former Finance Minister Capt Abhimanyu, forcing the JJP to keep the Cabinet berth from its quota vacant.

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).
