New Delhi, September 11

India had protested against the reversal of Washington’s US policy on arms sale to Pakistan during its interactions with a high-powered US delegation led by the State Department’s pointsman on South Asia Donald Lu.

The arrival of the US delegation to India for security-related discussions had intersected with an announcement by the Pentagon that the Biden administration had approved a $450 million sustainment package for Pakistan’s fleet of F-16 fighters.

Lu was here for an intersessional US-India 2 2, the Maritime Security Dialogue and the Quad senior officials’ meeting.

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).
