Six-time National Conference (NC) MLA Mubarak Gul took oath as the Pro tem speaker of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly here on Saturday. Gul was administered the oath of office by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha at a function at Raj Bhavan.

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, ministers and senior officials were present at the swearing-in ceremony.

Gul, who won Eidgah assembly seat in Srinagar for the sixth time in the recent Assembly polls, was appointed the pro tem speaker on Friday.

He will administer oath to the newly elected MLAs on Monday at 2 pm. Gul served as Speaker of the assembly of the erstwhile state of J&K from 2013 to 2015. He was advisor to Abdullah during his first term as chief minister.

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).
