Jammu, December 1

Union Minister Jitendra Singh has said the Kashmir valley is incomplete without Kashmiri Pandits, who have been for centuries an essential part of the unique civilisation, culture and tradition that the region is known for all over the world.

During an event here in Jammu on Friday, he said the Pandit community had contributed to the enrichment of academics, literature and art beyond the shores of J&K. Even before the Independence, the then princely states across the country, as far as central India, engaged Kashmiri Pandit scholars in education and administration. “After Independence, the Pandit community contributed immensely in civil services, academics, etc.,” 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).
