Shimla, July 19

The Citizens Amendment Act (CAA) was long required for Hindu minority people waiting to settle in India while the abolition of Articles 370 and 35A was a major step towards ‘One India’. Article 370 was a stigma, said Avinash Rai Khanna, in-charge of BJP affairs in Himachal.

Khanna, while addressing the Chintan Shivar virtually, said, “National security is of prime importance and to maintain it, we need to have good coordination between society and the government”. “India has become a stronger nation under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Our forces conducted the surgical strike to destroy terrorist camps in the POK and the operations were based on intelligence inputs from internal security agencies,” he said. — TNS

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).
