The Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) today appealed to all MPs to raise their voice for the release of Sheikh Abdul Rashid.

AIP vice-president GN Shaheen said Rashid was summoned to Delhi and detained under false charges on August 5, 2019. “Despite being held in custody, he contested and won the parliamentary elections. However, he has not been allowed to attend even a single session of the Lok Sabha,” Shaheen said.

Shaheen warned what was happening with Rashid “could happen to any of you (MPs) tomorrow”.

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).
