Having already announced his decision to step down as president of the National Conference, former CM Farooq Abdullah on Saturday said he would contest the next Assembly elections.

Farooq said he was not escaping the responsibility and would continue to work to strengthen the party.

He spoke to mediapersons on the sidelines of a function organised to welcome new party entrants. Several prominent political activists, including Gurjeet Sharma from Nagrota, joined the party his presence.

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).
