New Delhi, March 27

West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee may skip the March 31 INDIA bloc joint rally in Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan.

The rally announcement came amid the Opposition vs Centre faceoff over Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the excise policy case.

Instead of Delhi, Banerjee will visit Krishnanagar on March 31 to campaign for the party candidate Mahua Moitra fielded there. Moitra, sitting MP from Krishnanagar. Banerjee, who shares great personal rapport with Kejriwal, has decided to give the Delhi meet a miss and turn the heat against the BJP in her backyard where the saffron party has thrown her a strong challenge.

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).
