The BJP on Tuesday expelled two of its MLAs, S T Somashekar and A Shivaram Hebbar, in Karnataka for six years for their alleged ‘anti-party activities,’ party’s state president B Y Vijayendra said.

The party high command took a decision after long deliberations, he added.

Somashekar and Hebbar represent Yashwanthpur and Yellapur assembly constituencies respectively.

The expelled MLAs have not responded immediately.

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).
