Qadian, December 24

The Ahmadiyya community, which has been declared as non-Muslim by Pakistan, has put off its annual convention (Salana Jalsa) indefinitely keeping in view the nationwide protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

The congregation was to be held here from December 27 to 30.

“The decision has been taken keeping in view the security of the members of the community. A majority of the guests were supposed to arrive via Uttar Pradesh which is one of the most-affected states,” said a spokesman.

He said fresh dates would be decided after a month.

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).
