NCP national working president Praful Patel has sent a letter to its two MLAs in Kerala to resign from their posts as they have been allegedly indulging in “anti-party” activities.

The two NCP MLAs — state Forests Minister AK Saseendran and party state president Thomas K Thomas — are currently identified with the NCP(SP) faction led by Sharad Pawar and the party is a constituent of the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF).

Speaking to reporters, both leaders said they would ignore the letter as they were not associated with Praful Patel's party.

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).
