Amid speculation that Waqf (Amendment) Bill could be brought in Parliament during the second leg of the Budget session, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) launched a nationwide agitation from Bihar’s Gardanibagh Dharna Sthal in Patna on Wednesday.

The protest saw participation of top politicians, including RJD leaders Lalu Prasad Yadav, Tejashwi Yadav, Jan Suraaj leader Prashant Kishor, Azad Samaj Party president Chandrashekhar Azad and Samajwadi Party’s MP Maulana Mohibullah. RJD leader Tejashwi said his party firmly stood with the AIMPLB.

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).
