The Tamil Nadu Government on Thursday granted one-month parole to Nalini Sriharan, one of the seven convicts in the assassination of former PM Rajiv Gandhi.

The parole came after repeated requests from her ailing mother Padma.

State Special Public Prosecutor Hassan Mohammed Jinnah informed the Madras High Court on Thursday that the state government had granted ordinary parole to Nalini who was lodged in Vellore Special Prison. — IANS

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).
