Jammu, February 19

Calling the Delimitation Commission’s draft report as an imitation of the Dixon Plan aimed to divide people on communal lines, J&K Apni Party president Syed Mohammed Altaf Bukhari has said the report disappointed all sections of society in both the regions of the UT.

At a press conference in Jammu, he said the five MPs of J&K should resign for “failing to represent the sentiments and aspirants of the people.”

“Merging Anantnag constituency with Rajouri and Poonch is an example of gross injustice with the people,” he said. Condemning the merger of Suchetgarh constituency with RS Pura, he said security was compromised and the ambition of a political party was preferred.

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).
