BERLIN, September 3

Chancellor Angela Merkel reiterated on Thursday that any German or European response to the poisoning of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny depends on whether Russia helps clear up the case.

Speaking at a news conference with the Swedish Prime Minister, she said she had nothing further to add to her statement condemning the attempted murder of a Russian opposition figure and demanded Moscow’s help. Meanwhile, the Kremlin rejected accusations that Russia was responsible for the poisoning of Navalny and said it saw no grounds for sanctions to be imposed against Moscow over the case.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow rejected any suggestion that Russia had been behind the attack on Navalny and warned other countries against jumping to hasty conclusions. — Reuters

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.
