New Delhi, January 21

Six years after he quit the Congress in Uttarakhand, veteran MLA and expelled BJP minister Harak Singh Rawat on Friday returned to the Congress, along with daughter-in-law Anukriti Gusain. Both have been assured ticket in the elections, although both said they had joined unconditionally.

Sitting MLA from Kotdwar, Harak had led the rebellion against his own party’s government in the state in 2016 and later joined the BJP. Ten MLAs had then plunged CM Harish Rawat-led government into minority triggering President’s rule in the state. —

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).
