New Delhi, February 3

Indian Americans have urged US President Joe Biden to reject the appointment of Masood Khan as Pakistan’s Ambassador to the US. The US has not approved his nomination for over 10 weeks amid allegations that he is a “Jihadi sympathiser” and if appointed, he will try to wreck India-US ties. “Masood is also a supporter of the Jamaat-e-Islami, which helped Pakistan carry out genocide against Bangladeshis in 1971,” said Foundation for India and Indian Diaspora Studies. —

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).
