New Delhi, June 27

The Army is verifying allegations against a Major posted in Kashmir that troops had forced worshippers in a Pulwama mosque to chant Jai Shree Ram, said sources. NC chief Omar Abdullah and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti have demanded a probe.

Mehbooba Mufti had tweeted that she was shocked to hear about it. She asked Union Home Minister Amit Shah for a probe. Omar had in his tweet tagged Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, seeking an investigation.

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).
