Ahead of the hearing on a PIL seeking action against those who delivered hate speeches during the Haridwar “Dharam Sansad” last month, two Hindu groups have moved the SC seeking a probe into similar speeches by Muslim politicians and clerics against Hindus.

Lucknow-based Hindu Front for Justice and Delhi-based Hindu Sena wanted the SC to direct the state governments concerned to register FIRs against Muslim leaders/clerics who delivered provocative speech against Hindus. Such utterances created an atmosphere of fear and unrest in the Hindu community reminding them of the working of Muslim League which resulted in India’s partition, they said. —

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).
