Hamirpur, February 1

Rajeev Chopra, district president of the Congress Seva Dal, joined the BJP in the presence of district BJP president Baldev Sharma here today.

Significantly, Chopra was appointed the district president about a month ago. He recently attended a national seminar of the Seva Dal in Bhopal and was reportedly dismissed from the post yesterday evening by the state Seva Dal chief Anurag Sharma.

Speaking on the occasion, Baldev Sharma said people had started leaving the Congress and the joining of Chopra would further strengthen the BJP in the district.

Meanwhile, Anurag Sharma, state president of the Congress Seva Dal, said Chopra was dismissed from his post yesterday following reports of his anti-party activities. Sanjay Parmar was appointed the officiating district organiser in his place, he added.

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).
