Chandigarh, March 16

Almost eight months after taking over as PCC chief, Navjot Singh Sidhu on Wednesday tendered his resignation after Congress president Sonia Gandhi asked the PCC presidents to resign for reorganisation of the state bodies.

In a tweet, Sidhu said “as desired” by the party president he had put in his papers. This is the second time that Sidhu has resigned after taking over the state unit chief. In September last year, he had resigned over the appointment of the DGP and Advocate General (AG) in the Charanjit Channi-led government. He then had announced to withdraw his resignation after the AG was changed and the process to replace the DGP was started.—

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).
