Chandigarh, April 24

The Congress on Wednesday suspended its Phillaur MLA Vikramjit Singh Chaudhary from the party for indulging in anti-party activities by making ‘unrestrained statements’ against former Punjab chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi, who is contesting from Jalandhar.

The suspension letter issued by Congress’s Punjab affairs in charge Devender Yadav stated that “despite several warnings”, the MLA was “deviating from the party guidelines, tarnishing the image of the organisation”.

Chaudhary’s mother Karamjit Singh and window of former MP Santosh Chaudhary recently joined the BJP.

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).
