Srinagar, August 29

Iltija Mufti on Thursday said the PDP will emerge as the kingmaker in J&K as no party would get a majority on its own in the Assembly poll.

The third generation politician from the Mufti family is contesting the polls from Srigufwara-Bijbehara segment, which has been represented by her mother Mehbooba Mufti and her grandfather Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.

Terming the current status of J&K as little more than that of a “municipality”, Iltija said her party will fight the election so as to not cede the ground to the BJP.

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).
