New Delhi, September 27

The Border Security Force (BSF) on Tuesday said it has apprehended a 20-year-old Pakistani man from the Sriganganagar sector in Rajasthan.

Md Waqas was nabbed from along the India-Pakistan International Border in “suspicious circumstances” on Monday evening, the BSF said in a statement.

“During initial questioning, the man revealed that he is a follower of Tehreek-e-Labbaik and entered into India to propagate the ideology of the said outfit,” a spokesperson said, adding that the apprehended man hails from Karampur village in the Bahawalnagar district of Pakistan.

A joint team of intelligence and security agencies is questioning the man and he would be handed over to the local police soon, the officer said.

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).
