The NIA has informed a special court in Kochi that Kerala leaders of the banned Popular Front of India (PFI) were in touch with the Islamic State (IS) and Al-Qaida operatives. It also said the outfit had a secret wing that prepared a hit list of people belonging to other communities.

The agency told the court that crucial information had been obtained regarding the treasonous activities carried out by the PFI.

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).
