Amid a perceptible chill in New Delhi-Dhaka relations in recent months, senior BJP leader and national vice-president Baijayant Jay Panda on Thursday underlined India’s commitment to a “balanced, people-centric partnership” with Bangladesh during a meeting with the neighbouring country’s High Commissioner, Md Mustafizur Rahman.

Panda said India remained anchored in “mutual respect, peace, stability and shared progress” while confirming that the two sides discussed a broad spectrum of issues. The Bangladesh High Commission described bilateral ties as being shaped by a “diverse and deeper long time trajectory of cooperation and collaboration” rooted in shared values. The phrasing was seen by diplomatic observers as an attempt to reaffirm continuity.

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).
