Bharatiya Janata Party’s national president JP Nadda said on Sunday that he had tested positive for coronavirus.

Nadda, who’s convoy was attacked on a recent visit to West Bengal—an event that has become the latest flashpoint between the BJP-ruled Centre and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress—announced his health status in a tweet on Sunday.

In his tweet, Nadda said he was isolating himself at home and asked people who have recently come in touch with him to get themselves tested.

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).
