New Delhi, September 12

In what is being seen as retaliation for allowing a Chinese ship to dock at Hambantota, India has upbraided Sri Lanka for the “lack of measurable progress” in resolving the ethnic issue during a debate in the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC).

India has submitted a report to the UN on September 6, calling on the Sri Lankan Government to immediately end the reliance on draconian security laws and crackdown on peaceful protests, reverse the drift towards militarisation and show renewed commitment to, and deliver on, security sector reforms.

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).
