New Delhi, July 31

Upset over being removed during a Cabinet reshuffle, Babul Supriyo, Bollywood playback singer-turned-BJP MP from Asansol, on Saturday announced on a Facebook post that he was quitting politics. Written in Bengali script, interspersed occasionally with English, Supriyo wrote that he would be resigning from the LS too. “Resigning from my MP-ship too (obviously)”, he wrote in the post which started with “alvida”.

Supriyo said he would be lying if he did not admit that dropping him from the Council of Ministers had a bearing on his decision to quit politics. — TNS

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).
