Chandigarh, October 10

As many as 234 delegates from the state will exercise their franchise to elect the the All India Congress Committee (AICC) president on October 17. The result will be announced on October 19.

On October 12, Congress leader, Mallikarjun Kharge, who is in the contest for the AICC president, would be meeting the delegates from the state at Punjab Congress headquarters. Kharge would also meet delegates from Himachal Pradesh, Haryana and Chandigarh on the same day.

The meeting schedule of Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, who is also in the fray, is not yet known.

Sources in the Pradesh Congress Committee said the election related activities were being done by the AICC. Senior Congress leaders denied reports of exerting pressure on the delegates to vote in favour of Kharge.

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).
