The Congress MLA from Kutlehar assembly seat in Himachal Pradesh was attacked on Thursday by two bike riders in Hoshiarpur while he was returning in his car from Jalandhar, police said.

Vivek Sharma said unidentified people attacked his car with a rod and broke its rear windshield. The incident took place when he was on his way to his native village.

The MLA's driver chased the two for some distance, but couldn't catch up with them.

Police have registered a case and a search is on to nab the attackers, Sharma told PTI.

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).
