Lucknow, February 1

A youth allegedly tried to throw a “chemical” at Congress leader Kanhaiya Kumar at the UPCC office here on Tuesday, party sources said.

However, he was caught by the party office bearers before any damage was done, they said.

Kanhaiya was at the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC) office to address a ‘Yuva Sansad’ organised by the party.

A Congress leader on the condition of anonymity said the youth was identified as Devansh Bajpai and he tried to throw the “chemical” at Kumar but was caught by the office bearers of the Youth Congress and the NSUI.

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).
