New Delhi, August 3

Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu on Monday said he missed his “dear sister” Sushma Swaraj a lot on this Raksha Bandhan.

Former External Affairs Minister Swaraj died on August 6 last year.

“Dear sister Sushma, missing you a lot today,” Naidu tweeted in Hindi and English, along with an old picture of the late BJP leader tying him a ‘rakhi’.

Swaraj’s daughter Bansuri also shared an old picture of her mother tying a ‘rakhi’ to Naidu.

“A sweet memory of Rakshabandhan,” she captioned.

Official sources said Naidu spoke to Bansuri and enquired about her wellbeing.

His wife Usha had sent her a saree and gifts.

Bansuri said she felt like her mother is back. PTI

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).
