Jalandhar, June 11

Tension gripped a private college on Friday evening after a girl student reportedly uploaded a post against the Muslim community supporting the remarks made by suspended BJP leaders—Nupur Sharma and Naveen Jindal—against Prophet Muhammad.

The Kashmiri students lodged a protest after which the college authorities asked the girl to apologise for her post. She was also made to delete her post. The police had to be called in to pacify both sides. The college management said the students were told to stay calm and refrain from making any communal remarks on the campus.

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).
