Srinagar, December 2

Former CM Omar Abdullah on Saturday said the Raj Bhavan had been “rubbing salt into the wounds” of the J&K people by celebrating Nagaland Statehood Day.

The Nagaland Statehood Day, in line with the spirit of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat,’ was observed with enthusiasm at the Raj Bhawan in Jammu on Friday.

Omar remarked on the irony of celebrating the statehood day of another region while the UT day was celebrated in J&K following its downgrade from a state. “Here we celebrate Nagaland Statehood day in Raj Bhavan, Jammu, while celebrating ‘Union Territory Day’ when it comes to J&K. Talk about rubbing salt into the wounds of the people here,” he posted on X.

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).
