More than 350 leaders and workers of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan's party, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa CM ]Ali Amin Gandapur, have been booked under terrorism and other charges by Pakistan’s Punjab police.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders have been booked under anti-terrorism and attempted murder charges for their alleged involvement in an attack on policemen during their rally in Lahore last Saturday.

The police have started raiding the residences of the leaders for their arrest. Gandapur is also accused of vandalising a plaza. Other senior leaders have been booked for facilitating the escape of absconding leader Hammad Azhar in the Lahore rally. Punjab CM Maryam Nawaz said Gandapur wanted to attack Punjab on the pretext of rallies.

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).
