New Delhi, July 22

Terming it a “concocted” story, the BJP on Thursday slammed opposition for its disruptive politics.

BJP’s Amit Malviya said, “The global expedition launched by a syndicate of media organisations put out a malicious report with no evidence.

“They do not know the source of the list of phone numbers, nor do they know if numbers were spied on. This is nothing but an attempt to undermine democracies.”

In another tweet, he added: “Have phones been hacked – NOT SURE. Who ordered the hack – NO IDEA. Where did the list of phone numbers come from – NO ONE KNOWS. Did the “investigative” story give any evidence to suggest who could be behind it – NO.

This, in a nutshell, is the concocted Pegasus hack story.”

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).
