Patna, July 13

A BJP leader in Bihar on Thursday died while taking part in a “Vidhan Sabha march” against the Nitish Kumar government, evoking allegations from senior party leaders that he was “killed in a brutal lathicharge”. Party’s Jehanabad district general secretary Vijay Singh was brought in an unconscious state to the Patna Medical College and Hospital where he died.

BJP president JP Nadda claimed in a tweet that the lathicharge on BJP workers was the result of the failure and indignation of the state government.

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).
