Thousands of people, including ministers, BJP leaders, MPs, MLAs and party workers, gathered at Swabhiman Sthal in Ghevra on Tuesday to pay tributes to former Delhi Chief Minister Sahib Singh Verma on his death anniversary. Speakers remembered the former CM as a leader committed to the welfare of Delhi’s villages, farmers and the underprivileged.
The prayer meeting was attended by Delhi Cabinet Minister and Verma’s son Parvesh Verma, Delhi Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa, MP Yogendra Chandolia and several senior BJP leaders. Family members, including Verma’s wife Sahib Kaur and younger son Siddharth Sahib Singh, performed a havan, while Rasraj Ji Maharaj recited the Sundarkand.
The Delhi BJP also organised a separate tribute programme at its party office. Delhi BJP president Harsh Malhotra, along with Parvesh Verma and other party leaders, offered floral tributes to the former Chief Minister.
Addressing the gathering at Swabhiman Sthal, Parvesh Verma said his father’s life reflected simplicity, integrity and selfless public service.
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).
