New Delhi, September 17

Preventive and otherwise detention of political leaders and activists in J&K was an issue that reverberated in the Rajya Sabha today, with PDP MP Mir Mohammad Fayaz urging the government “to give back the right to talk about their people”.

Raising the matter during the Zero Hour, Fayaz said a year had gone by since the erstwhile state was reorganised into two UTs and still several political leaders were under detention under the PSA.

“It is a strange situation where the same person with whom the BJP formed the government in J&K and whose father Mufti Mohammad Sayeed served as Home Minister of the country can be put under arrest for so long,” Fayaz said, demanding release of the PDP chief. — TNS

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).
