Srinagar, May 13

As three generations of the Abdullahs voted today, NC chief Farooq Abdullah and vice-president Omar Abdullah accused the administration of detaining party agents after casting their vote.

“It was great that I have voted. I am happy to vote. But I say with regret that while they say no stone is being thrown, no violence is taking place but they have arrested our party workers in the past two days,” Farooq said after casting his vote. Farooq said: “On one hand, they claim that they are conducting free and fair elections and at the same time they are arresting our important workers. Why?”

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).
