Former MLA Mohammad Amin Bhat resigned from ex-Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Ghulam Nabi Azad’s Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) on Sunday.

Bhat, who was elected to the assembly from Devsar seat in 2014, announced his departure from the DPAP in a statement shared with the media here.

Bhat, who was the provincial president of the DPAP, expressed his gratitude to Azad and wished him well.

He had resigned from Congress when Azad launched his regional outfit after the abrogation of Article 370.

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).
