The CPM has appointed its Rajya Sabha member John Brittas as the parliamentary party leader in the Upper House.

In a statement issued on Sunday, the party said that Brittas, who was deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha, was appointed to the post by the central leadership of the CPM after Bikas Ranjan Bhattacharya relinquished his position.

The MP from Kerala is also a member of the Standing Committee on External Affairs, Committee on Public Undertakings and the Advisory Committee on the Department of IT.

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).
