Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Khaleda Zia’s BNP has expressed “grave concern” over the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government’s announcement that Dhaka had agreed in-principle to open a humanitarian corridor for transporting relief supplies to Myanmar’s Rakhine state.

On Monday, BNP secretary general Mira Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said the government should have consulted with all political parties before taking such a “major decision” as it involved the question of “our independence, sovereignty and stability and peace of the region in the future”.

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).
