With Navjot Singh Sidhu stepping down as the PCC chief, the Congress high command has begun the exercise to appoint the new incumbent.

Ahead of appointing the PCC president, the party will decide on the CLP leader. Outgoing Rajya Sabha MP and Qadian MLA Partap Singh Bajwa is the front-runner for the post of CLP leader, though the official announcement is awaited.

Punjab affairs incharge Harish Choudhary said the state body chief would be announced soon. Party president Sonia Gandhi held meeting with Punjab MPs.

Contenders for the PCC post include Sukhjinder Randhawa, Raja Warring, Ravneet Bittu and Bharat Bhushan Ashu.

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).
