New Delhi, April 25

Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram Shashi Tharoor was among leaders who welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi upon his arrival in the city on Tuesday morning.

The prime minister, who is on a two-day Kerala trip, was welcomed at the Thiruvananthapuram airport by Kerala Governor Arif Mohammad Khan, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Tharoor.

Tharoor’s presence almost instantly became a matter of speculation considering opposition chief ministers have disregarded protocol in the past when receiving the prime minister in their states.

BRS chief and Telangana CM K Chandrashekhar Rao has often not turned up to welcome the PM when the latter has arrived in the state for official events.

Tharoor had unsuccessfully contested against Mallikarjun Kharge for the Congress president’s election.

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).
