Jammu, October 1

Ghulam Nabi Azad, former CM of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir, was on Saturday elected the chairman of his newly formed Democratic Azad Party (DAP). A resolution to this effect was passed at a founder members’ session, which was held in both Jammu and Srinagar districts, the leader said, adding the decision was unanimous.

Azad, 73, launched the DAP in Jammu on September 26 with support of dozens of former ministers, ex-legislators and other leaders.

His prominent aides include former deputy CM Tara Chand, former ministers Peerzada Mohd Sayeed, Taj Mohiuddin, GM Saroori, RS Chib, Jugal Kishore, Majid Wani and Manohar Lal Sharma among others.

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).
