New Delhi, September 6

The Indian Foreign Office here denied there had been any breach of protocol during PM Sheikh Hasina’s ongoing visit.

The Opposition has claimed that a Minister of State and some middle-level MEA officials received Hasina, and that neither the PM nor the President came to receive her. It was pointed out that in contrast, PM Narendra Modi had received Hasina at the airport in 2015 and 2017.

It was also alleged that instead of President Droupadi Murmu, PM Modi welcomed Hasina at the Rashtrapati Bhavan forecourt, where she was accorded a tri-services guard of honour. “Hasina’s visit was accorded a state visit, which is the highest level of protocol. Can’t comment on what Opposition has to say, but PM Hasina was accorded a warm welcome with full protocol,” says the Foreign Office.

Meanwhile, Hasina on Tuesday called on President Droupadi Murmu.

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).
