BJP leaders RP Singh and Iqbal Singh Lalpura today met Afghanistan senator Dr Anarkali Kaur Honaryar, one of the 168 evacuees from Kabul. “We love India very much. Our culture is the same. But leaving your country is not an easy thing. We request the Government of India that the ‘sangat’ trapped in Afghanistan be brought out safely,” a BJP statement quoted her as saying. A women’s right activist, Dr Anarkali is a Sikh Afghan politician and a dentist by profession. — TNS

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).
