New Delhi, November 17

The BJP today appointed Purnesh Modi, who filed a defamation case against Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on the Modi surname issue, as the in charge of Dadra Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu.

Purnesh Modi had taken Rahul to court for the latter’s pre-2019 Lok Sabha election remarks, “Why do all thieves have Modi surname.”

A Surat court had convicted Rahul for two years in the case leading to his disqualification as Lok Sabha MP.

The Supreme Court stayed the conviction in August enabling Gandhi’s reinstatement.

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).
