Qadian (Gurdaspur), Jan 16

The women’s wing of the Ahmadiyya community held its centenary celebrations by holding a function in Qadian.

The town is famous for being the headquarters of the community. It is a religious sect within Islam although it holds beliefs that are considered by many Muslims as outside the boundaries of Islam. The community members face persecution in Pakistan and have made Qadian their base.

The celebrations were led by the wing’s president Bushra Pasha and deputy president and secretary Shumali Cheema.

Pasha said the main objective of the movement was to educate women of the community so that they could become more “powerful.”

“We also want these women to impart knowledge to others, practice the teachings of Islam and to improve one’s own morals,” she said.

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).
