New Delhi, August 24

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) today said a special court here has sentenced five-year imprisonment to two men for promoting activities of proscribed IS in India.

The NIA said Abdullah Basith and Abdul Qadir were arrested on August 12, 2018, for their affiliation with the IS and for furthering its violent anti-India agenda through the terror outfit’s Abu Dhabi module. The central agency registered an FIR on January 28, 2016, following directions from the Union Home Ministry.

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).
