New Delhi, August 5

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said August 5 had become a special date in the history of India as the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir and Ram Mandir in Ayodhya were associated with it.

“It was on August 5 two years ago that the country had further strengthened the spirit of ‘Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat’ by abrogating Article 370, making every right and facility available to every citizen of Jammu and Kashmir,” the Prime

Minister said, addressing beneficiaries of the Prime Minister-Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana in

the poll-bound state of Uttar Pradesh.

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).
