The EC has sent a notice to newly elected MP Sheikh Abdul Rashid, also known as Engineer Rashid, who is in jail in a terror funding case, over a significant disparity in his poll expenditure report for the Baramulla LS seat.

The election authority has sought a response within two days. The notice, served by the Deputy District Election Officer in Baramulla on Tuesday, highlighted the expenditure register submitted by Rashid showed Rs 2.10 lakh as expenses, while the actual amount recorded in the shadow register maintained by observers amounted to Rs 13.78 lakh.

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).
