Chandigarh, August 19

Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president Navjot Singh Sidhu has appointed former DGP Mohd Mustafa as his principal strategic adviser. He has accepted the post.

Sidhu had earlier appointed Mustafa as his political adviser, but the latter had declined to accept any political post. Sidhu reportedly had a two-hour meeting with Mustafa at the latter’s residence today. Mustafa’s wife Razia Sultana is a Cabinet minister. However, Mustafa was unhappy at not being included in the panel of officers for the post of Punjab DGP. He had aired his disappointment over the issue. Sources said Sidhu called on Mustafa and convinced him to take up the post for the “betterment of the state”. — TNS

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).
