Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s ruling coalition lost a majority in the 465-seat Lower House in a key parliamentary election on Sunday, a punishment by voters’ outrage over the governing party’s extensive financial scandals.

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.
