Hoshiarpur, June 25

Four-time Lok Sabha MP from Hoshiarpur Squadron Leader Kamal Chaudhary passed away in Delhi this morning. He was 76. Chaudhary became MP on the Congress ticket for the first time in 1985 after the assassination of his father, freedom fighter and socialist leader Chaudhary Balbir Singh by terrorists.

He got elected from this seat in 1985, 1989 and 1992 on the Congress ticket and later in 1998 on the BJP ticket. As an MP, he was also the chairperson of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defence. Before joining the politics, he was a fighter pilot in the IAF.

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).
