Some leaders are still dreaming about restoration of Article 370, which is “next to impossible”, J&K BJP president Ravinder Raina said on Saturday, advising political parties to leave the chapter behind and take part in Assembly polls whenever they are held.

Speaking to reporters at the party’s state headquarters here upon his return from Delhi where he took part in an all-party meeting, he also said the Centre was promise-bound to restore the statehood. “Some leaders are still dreaming about the restoration of Article 370 which gave birth to separatism, terrorism and Pakistani ideology in J&K and claimed lakhs of lives and caused pain to the people. Its restoration is next to impossible. It cannot be restored till doomsday,” Raina added. — PTI

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).
