Indira Gandhi Prize for Peace, Disarmament and Development for 2023 was today conferred on Daniel Barenboim and Ali Abu Awwad.

A press note issued by the organisers described the two as “crusaders of peace, who have dedicated their lives to promoting amity among the Israeli and Palestinian people”.

Daniel Barenboim is an Argentine-born classical pianist and conductor. He is also known for his relentless endeavours in using music to foster harmony in West Asia.

Ali Abu Awwad is an eminent Palestinian peace activist who has been working tirelessly with the people of Palestine and Israel for a peaceful resolution of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

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).
