Pakistan army chief General Asim Munir once again highlighted the ‘two-nation theory’ on Saturday, saying Muslims and Hindus were two different nations.

Munir’s remarks came almost a week after he had described Kashmir as Pakistan’s “jugular vein” at an event and asked overseas Pakistanis to pass on the country’s story to their children, emphasising that their forefathers believed Hindus and Muslims were different in every possible aspect of life.

Addressing the passing out parade of cadets at the Pakistan Military Academy in Kakul area on Saturday, he said: “The two-nation theory was based on the fundamental belief that Muslims and Hindus are two separate nations. Muslims are distinct from Hindus in all aspects of life – religion, customs, traditions, thinking and aspirations.”

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).
