Jammu, October 10

NC president Farooq Abdullah and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti were absent from the Tuesday’s three-hour protest that was organised by several parties against the Centre, demanding restoration of J&K’s statehood and early Assembly elections in the UT. The reason behind their absence is not known.

Local leaders of these parties, along with Congress, J&K National Panthers Party (JKNPP), CPM, Awami National Conference, Shiv Sena (UBT) and others, gathered at the Maharaja Hari Singh Park.

Rattan Lal Gupta, provincial president of the NC, said the protest was held on the directions of Farooq Abdullah. Vikar Rasool Wani, UT president of the Congress, said the rights of the J&K people had been snatched.

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).
