Srinagar, May 23

Militants have threatened the Amarnath Yatra, alleging the authorities planned to use the event for “demographic and political gains”.

The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), claimed the government planned to “push in RSS men” disguised as pilgrims.

“If this yatra is used for political gains, we will do our best to foil such plans. We will target anyone who is a stooge of the regime,” read a statement issued by the TRF.

The Centre has sanctioned 50 companies of the CAPF for the security of the 43-day pilgrimage starting June 30.

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).
