Jammu, May 4

The J&K Congress on Tuesday demanded the resignation of Union Minister Jitendra Singh and a high-level probe into allegations of corruption levelled against him by BJP leader and former MLC Vikram Randhawa.

The JKAP has also demanded a probe into the matter. J&K BJP secretary Randhawa, who is the president of the Stone Crusher Owners Association, has levelled serious allegations against Singh’s office in Jammu over the issue of mining policy and also threatened to immolate himself. The party’s disciplinary committee served Randhawa a show-cause notice, hours after he went public against Singh. On Tuesday, a group of Congress workers led by its youth wing president Uday Bhanu Chib assembled at the party’s headquarters here and staged a protest to press for the Singh’s resignation. — PTI

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).
