Mandi (HP), September 24

Late Union minister and Congress leader Pandit Sukh Ram’s grandson Aashray Sharma is all set to join the ruling BJP in Himachal Pradesh.

Aashray’s father Anil Sharma, a BJP leader and Mandi Sadar MLA, told reporters that he was scheduled to join the saffron fold during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit here on Saturday.

However, Modi’s visit was cancelled due to inclement weather and he addressed those gathered at Paddal Maidan virtually.

A new date for Aashray’s joining will be decided soon, Anil Sharma said in the presence Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur.

Aashray had unsuccessfully contested the parliamentary elections on a Congress ticket in 2019.

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).
