The names of UP Congress leaders Jitin Prasada and Raj Babbar, who had signed the letter seeking leadership changes in the party, are missing from the poll panels announced for the state today.

Neither former minister Prasada nor ex-UP Congress chief Babbar are on the five committees approved by party chief Sonia Gandhi in preparation for the next state elections. The manifesto panel includes former minister Salman Khurshid, veteran PL Punia and spokesperson Supriya Shrinate. — TNS

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).
