New Delhi, August 25

Pakistan has rejected India’s action over the March 9 accidental firing of a supersonic BrahMos missile that landed in its territory as “totally unsatisfactory, deficient and inadequate” and sought a joint probe into the incident.

In a late-night statement on Wednesday, the Pakistan Foreign Office said India’s probe regarding the “incident of firing of a missile” was as expected. “The subsequent findings and punishments handed by the internal Court of Inquiry are totally unsatisfactory, deficient and inadequate,” it read. It said systemic loopholes and technical lapses of serious nature in handling strategic weapons “cannot be covered up beneath the veneer of individual human error.”

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).
