Srinagar, March 9

Senior Congress leader Saifuddin Soz on Tuesday termed as “misleading” the claim made allegedly by Prime Minister Narendra Modi that J&K’s special status was revoked for the benefit of the people there.

“It is really unfortunate that PM Modi has made a deceptive statement at Kolkata the other day that the abrogation of Article 370 was done by the Central Government in favour of the people of J&K,” Soz said in a statement here.

“How can PM Modi take the people of J&K for granted who are actually deeply distressed on the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution,” he said. The Congress leader said the “most evil aspect” of the abrogation of the special constitutional provisions was that the Union Government enacted “this wrong act all by itself, although the people of J&K happen to be the first party to the agreement”. — PTI

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).
