“I take a bath in my house everyday," said Farooq Abdullah on Maha Kumbh's holy dip.

The National Conference president was addressing a cancer awareness programme in Jammu, when he was asked, if he would visit Prayagraj for Maha Kumbh. “I take a bath in my house everyday”, was Abdullah's reply.

He also said: "If terrorism was wiped out, why do attacks still happen in the Valley?", adding that: "INDIA alliance is doing absolutely fine and will keep doing good in the future as well."

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).
