New Delhi, June 5

A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking a CBI/NIA probe into alleged hateful and “Islamophobic” posts on the social networking platform last year during the first wave of Covid-19.

Petitioner advocate Khaja Aijazuddin has challenged a Telangana High Court order refusing the pass any specific orders. The HC had asked the Centre to consider his representation for registering an FIR against Twitter and its users posting communal and hateful messages. — TNS

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).
