Nida Khan, the daughter-in-law of Congress leader Maulana Taqueer Raza Khan, well-known cleric of the Barelvi sect, today joined the BJP.

“I have joined BJP because it brought triple talaq law and worked for the empowerment of women of all religions,” she was quoted as saying.

On her father-in-law, Nida said he could not fight for his own family, but was now talking about women’s rights. She added she would campaign for the BJP and had not yet decided about contesting. —

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).
