Senior Congress leader and former Punjab minister Rakesh Pandey was admitted to a private hospital here on Sunday after he complained of acute pain in the stomach, his family members said.

The chief gastroenterologist at the Dayanand Medical College and Hospital, Dr Ajit Sood, said Pandey had an ulcer in his stomach and it had burst, leading to massive bleeding inside.

Sood said Pandey has been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital and put on a ventilator.

Pandey has represented the Ludhiana North constituency in the Punjab Assembly multiple times. He is the son of former minister late Joginder Pal Pandey.

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).
