Chandigarh, December 24

Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) general secretary Randhir Singh Dhira Khudian has resigned from the party citing personal reasons.

A resident of Khudian village in the Lambi Assembly segment, Randhir Singh handed over his resignation to PPCC chief Sunil Jakhar here on Friday.

Randhir Singh is the grandson of former Member of Parliament Jagdev Singh Khudian.

Notably, Khudian family holds sway in the Lambi Assembly segment. Randhir Singh’s uncle Gurmeet Singh Khudian, former president of the District Congress Committee, Muktsar, had sought a ticket to fight from Lambi in 2017 Assembly elections, but the party had that time fielded Captain Amarinder Singh from constituency.

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).
