New Delhi, June 16

Former minister Jairam Ramesh was on Thursday appointed the new AICC general secretary incharge of communication, publicity and media, including social and digital media, with immediate effect.

Randeep Singh Surjewala was relieved of the charge he had been handling for many years now.

Surjewala will, however, continue as Congress general secretary, Karnataka.

Jairam, 68, was widely anticipated to take over as Congress media chief and has been guiding communication strategy from behind the scene.

The 68-year-old former minister who handled environment ministry in the Congress-led UPA is also chief whip of the party in Rajya Sabha and was re-elected to the Upper House from Karnataka in the just concluded biennial elections.

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).
