A judicial tribunal of the Delhi High Court has upheld the Centre’s ban on six separatist groups of Jammu and Kashmir.

These included two factions of the separatist group Muslim Conference (J&K) and four factions of another secessionist organisation, Jammu and Kashmir People’s League (JKPL), for threatening India’s integrity by promoting, aiding and abetting the secession of J&K through terrorism.

Three separate orders — one for the Muslim Conference Jammu and Kashmir (Bhat faction); another for Muslim Conference J&K (Sumji faction); and a third one for the four factions of the JKPL — JKPL (Mukhtar Ahmed Waza), JKPL (Bashir Ahmad Tota), JKPL (Ghulam Mohammad Khan alias Sopori) and JKPL (Aziz Sheikh) led by Yaqoob Sheikh.

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).
