Senior Haryana leader Kiran Choudhry, who recently switched camps from the Congress to the BJP, was included in the prestigious panel of vice-chairpersons of the Rajya Sabha on Monday.

Vice-President (V-P) and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar announced the reconstituted panel of vice-chairpersons for the 266th session of the Rajya Sabha, naming Choudhry and Congress leader Ajay Maken among the new members.

The V-P retained S Phangnon Konyak (first woman to be elected member of the Rajya Sabha from Nagaland in April 2022) and renowned athlete PT Usha.

BJP’s Mamata Mohanta, Ghanshyam Tiwari and Bhubaneswar Kalit; BJD’s Sasmit Patra and Congress’ Ajay Makan have also been included in the reconstituted committee.

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).
