Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday condoled the passing of Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan describing him as the champion of the downtrodden.

Rahul Gandhi said Paswan left an indelible mark on Indian politics and always spoke for the marginalised.

Priyanka Vadra said the late leader was “her mother’s neighbour for long years”.

“We had personal ties with the Paswans, my deepest condolences to the family,” she said.

AICC media head Randeep Surjewala said Paswan played a key role in poverty alleviation as part of the UPA led by Sonia Gandhi and former PM Manmohan Singh.

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).
