Diplomat-turned-politician Pavan K Varma on Tuesday joined the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in the presence of the party chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Delhi.

Talking to reporters, Varma said he would like to see Banerjee in Delhi after the 2024 Lok Sabha General Elections in the country.

Asked whether he would be assigned the charge of Bihar by TMC, Varma said he would be happy to carry out any work entrusted to him by the party.

Varma had earlier served as an adviser with cabinet rank to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. He also remained a JD (U) representative in the Rajya Sabha.

Varma was expelled from JD (U) by Nitish Kumar in 2019.

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).
