Jammu, November 30

Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit on Wednesday participated in a protest of Kashmiri Pandit employees, demanding their transfer to Jammu. He said Nadav Lapid, who headed the jury of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, was planted to stir a controversy by terming The Kashmir Files movie “propaganda and vulgar”.

“The Israeli filmmaker was a planted agent who did what he had been tasked for. He is a known Palestine supporter and an anti-establishment person who was allowed in a prestigious film festival in India despite his dubious credentials,” said Pandit.

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).
