S Jaishankar

Speaking at the G20 Foreign Ministers’ meeting in New York, EAM S Jaishankar on Wednesday stressed the need for reform in the UN, saying the UN remains a “prisoner of the past”.

He said the world had evolved into a smart, interconnected and multi-polar arena and UN members had increased four-fold since its inception. “Yet, it remains a prisoner of the past,” Jaishankar added. The minister said as a result, the UN Security Council (UNSC) was struggling to fulfil its mandate of maintaining international peace and security, undermining its effectiveness.

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).
