Criticising the authorities for now allowing Eid prayers at Eidgah and Jama Masjid, Kashmir’s chief cleric and chairman of Hurriyat Conference, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, on Monday said he was detained at his home.

In a statement, Mirwaiz said, “I strongly condemn the authorities decision to once again deny the Muslims the basic right to offer Eid prayers at Jama Masjid which have been closed down and I have been detained at home.” He said that even at the peak of miltancy, Eid prayers were offered at Eidgah.

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).
