The All-India Party United Morcha (APUM) on Saturday urged the NC-Congress alliance to pass a resolution seeking restoration of J&K’s statehood in its first Cabinet meeting.

Its members, who met in Jammu, congratulated the alliance leaders on the “spectacular victory” in the Assembly elections. Announcing full support to the coalition government, the APUM thanked the people for rejecting “communal forces”.

In the meeting held at the residence of former MP Sheikh Abdul Rehman, the APUM appealed to the NC-Congress to also provide 200 units of free electricity and regularise daily-wage labourers.

The meeting was attended by state chief Shiv Sena (UBT) Manish Sahni, activists ID Khajuria, Salim Mir, Narinder Singh Khalsa, Narinder Khajuria, Comrade Subhash Mehta and Sunny Kant Chib.

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).
