Rampur, February 22

The 12-year-old son of Shabnam Ali, a death row convict lodged in Rampur jail, met his mother for about 45 minutes on Sunday. He later told the media that his mother has urged him to focus on his studies.

“My mother asked me to focus on my studies. I am requesting ‘President uncle’ again to forgive her,” he said.

Earlier, a photograph of the boy holding a placard that said, “President uncle, please forgive my mother Shabnam,” had gone viral on the social media. — IANS

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).
