Srinagar, July 13

Two clerics have been “bound down” in Anantnag district for allegedly using inflammatory language targeting a specific community, police said on Saturday. The clerics were identified as Mushtaq Ahmad Veeri and Abdul Rashid Dawood.

The remarks made were brought to the attention of the Anantnag Police, which initiated proceedings against the two, a police officer said. Bounding down entails the accused must give an undertaking that they will indulge in good conduct and refrain from committing any offence.

The officer urged the public to report any instance of hate speech to the authorities.

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).
