Sanjay Singh, who is in judicial custody in connection with the excise policy case, continues to remain the leader of AAP in the Rajya Sabha.

According to the sources, Dhankhar has officially declined the request put forth by Kejriwal to appoint Chadha as the interim party leader in the Rajya Sabha.

In his response to Kejriwal’s communication dated December 14, the Chairman said, “This aspect is subject to the Leaders and Chief Whips of Recognised Parties and Groups in Parliament (Facilities) Act, 1998, and the rules made thereunder. The request, not being in conformity to the legal regime, is not being acceded to.”

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).
