Updated At : 06:18 AM Dec 17, 2017 IST

Islamabad: Pakistan PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Saturday vowed to remember December 16 as a Black Day when around 150 persons, including 130 children, were killed in a terrorist attack on a school in Peshawar city. On the third anniversary of the 2014 attack on the Army Public School, Abbasi said the sacrifices rendered by the nation in the war against terror are unmatched. “Extremism is the tree from which the poisonous fruit of terror grows. We gave the sacrifice of life and property in the war against terrorism,” he said. PTI

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).
