New Delhi, January 3

The Supreme Court on Monday asked the Centre to take a call on the representation of a Kerala man seeking direction for extradition of his daughter Sonia and minor granddaughter from Afghanistan.

The woman, currently lodged in Afghanistan’s Pul-e-Charkhi jail, is being probed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for certain charges under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for allegedly hatching a conspiracy with her husband and others to propagate ISIS terror ideology in waging war against Asiatic nations.

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).
