Jammu, May 17

London-based Ankit Love, self-proclaimed patron of Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) and son of party founders (late) Bhim Singh and his wife Jay Mala, on Wednesday expelled party president Vilakshan Singh. He accused Vilakshan of supporting the BJP and also termed him fraudster.

Love had earlier alleged conspiracy behind his mother’s death on April 26.

Meanwhile, Vilakshan Singh claimed that Ankit Love, being a British citizen, had no standing in the JKNPP. “No one has elected Ankit as the party patron. As per the party’s constitution, I am still its president. Ankit is being used by a faction of the party and targeting me,” he said. It is worth mentioning here that Harsh Dev Singh, who quit AAP to return to the JKNPP recently, has already claimed to be party president.

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).
