New Delhi, January 17

Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference patron Farooq Abdullah today asserted that the problem Kashmir was here to stay for long “unless we engage Pakistan in talks”.

Speaking at a function here to release former Intelligence Bureau (IB) and RAW chief AS Dulat’s book “A Life in the Shadows – A Memoir”, Farooq, who was the guest of honour, said, “Not only the problem of Kashmir, but even terrorism will remain there till we talk to our neighbour.” On the PM Narendra Modi-led government, the former J&K Chief Minister noted that the “tragedy of last eight years is that people are winning elections, but losing the nation”.

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).
