Khursheed is likely to contest from Rashid’s stronghold of Langate. The move is, however, has not sent a positive signal to locals who feel that several family members of Rashid have entered politics, giving rise to another political family in the Valley.

Clarifying the charges, Khursheed said though it was dynasty politics, its aim was to serve the people. “I have sacrificed my remaining 15 years of government service to work for the people,” he said.

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).
