Bengaluru, November 24

A little-known outfit, Islamic Resistance Council (IRC), has reportedly claimed responsibility for the Mangaluru blast on November 19, saying one of its “Mujahid brother Mohammed Shariq” attempted to attack a “Hindutva temple in Kadri”.

The outfit warned Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Alok Kumar, who said, “We are verifying the genuineness of the avowed organisation.” On November 19, Shariq was travelling in an autorickshaw with a cooker which exploded in Mangaluru injuring him and the driver.

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).
