Former Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, who is part of the government’s multi-party delegation travelling across Muslim nations for Operation Sindoor outreach, was hospitalised in Kuwait on Tuesday.

Rajya Sabha MP Satnam Singh Sandhu, who is also in the same delegation, on Tuesday visited Azad at Royale Hayat Hospital in Kuwait. Azad could not accompany the delegation to its onward journey to Riyadh where it arrived late on Tuesday after visiting Bahrain and Kuwait.

In a post on X, Sandhu said, “Despite being unwell for the past three days, Azad saheb continued to engage with dignitaries and speak powerfully on Pakistan-backed terrorism in J&K and India’s success in Operation Sindoor.”

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).
