Islamabad, February 4

A new political party named Pakistan Markazi Muslim League, believed to be a new face of the banned groups of incarcerated Hafiz Saeed, will participate in the February 8 general elections, according to a media report.

A BBC Urdu report on Saturday said some of the candidates nominated by this organisation from different cities of Pakistan are those who are either relatives of Saeed or have been associated with banned Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jamaat-ud-Dawa or Milli Muslim League. Saeed has been sentenced to a total of 31 years by Pakistan’s anti-terrorism courts.

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).
