A vast majority of people of Indian origin in Canada share an emotional bond with India and have worked for the betterment of relations between the two nations. There is a small fringe group of pro-Khalistan elements in Canada who spread anti-India feelings through their extremist statements and activities, said Minister of State in the Ministry of External Affairs V Muralidharan in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha.

He was asked by Anil Desai of the Shiv Sena whether the government was aware of activities being aggressively carried out by some pro-Khalistan elements and if so, whether it had identified these persons.

Muralidharan said the government remained closely engaged with the Canadian Government to address concerns relating to anti-India activities by extremists. —

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).
