In a fresh diplomatic salvo, Bangladesh Foreign Ministry , on Wednesday, alleged India ignored Bangladesh military commanders when the surrender documents were being signed between Indian and the Pakistan Army in Dhaka on December 16, 1971. Citing a book, the Foreign Ministry of Bangladesh, in a post on Facebook, said a major political mistake at the surrender ceremony was the Indian military command’s failure to ensure the presence of General MAG Osmani as a signatory.

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).
