While Channi is a former Punjab chief minister, Agnihotri is the Deputy Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh.

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has appointed Channi and Agnihotri as AICC senior observers for the ongoing assembly elections in Jammu & Kashmir with immediate effect, a party statement said.

The Congress on Monday released its manifesto for the Jammu and Kashmir polls, promising a slew of welfare measures for farmers, women and the youth. The party promised to provide inclusive and accountable governance while ensuring that the central government grants statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.

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).
