Awami Ittehad Party (AIP), headed by jailed Lok Sabha MP Engineer Rashid, on Monday said it has moved a formal application before the Patiala House Court, New Delhi, seeking permission for the Baramulla MP to attend the upcoming session of the Lok Sabha, scheduled to begin on July 21.

“Denying him the right to participate in the parliamentary proceedings not only disenfranchises the electorate but also undermines the very spirit of democracy. Attending Parliament is not a privilege, it is his constitutional duty,” said Nabi.

“Party is hopeful the judiciary will uphold democratic values and allow the MP Er Rashid to fulfill his responsibilities in the house,” he added.

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).
