New Delhi, February 23

Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, Leader of the Congress Party in the Lok Sabha, has strongly denied news broadcast in a television channel saying he might join the BJP.

In a letter addressed to Barun Das, MD and CEO of TV9 network, the West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee chief on Friday said the least the channel could do was to issue an “immediate apology on air” and also disclose the source’s name who gave the “baseless news”.

The Murshidabad MP warned that otherwise he would “take recourse to legal action”.

Chowdhury wrote that news that he was upset with the Congress and likely to join the BJP aired by the channel and being picked up by other media channels was not only “totally incorrect” and “full of falsehood” but also smacks of being “malafide”.

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).
