The Council of Islamic Ideology (CII), Pakistan’s top religious body, has said taking the law into one’s hands was against the teachings of Quran, Sharia and the Constitution. The council demanded that those responsible for the Sri Lankan national’s lynching in the country’s Punjab province be brought to justice, a media report said.

In a shocking incident earlier this month, supporters of the radical Islamist party Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan attacked a garment factory in Sialkot and lynched its 49-year-old general manager — Priyantha Kumara Diyawadana — before setting his body on fire over allegations of blasphemy. — PTI

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).
