Former Uttarakhand Congress president Kishor Upadhyay was on Wednesday sacked from all party posts for anti-party activities. Upadhyay, a former industry minister in the election-bound state, is said to have been in touch with the BJP and some other rival parties of the Congress in Uttarakhand.

AICC in-charge for Uttarakhand Devendra Yadav in a letter to Upadhyay accused him of holding parleys with other parties. “Despite multiple warnings, your conduct of indulging in anti-party activities continues unabated. You are therefore removed from all party positions,” Yadav said. —

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).
