New Delhi, April 8

Even as Prime Minister Imran Khan’s fate will be decided by a no-confidence motion in the National Assembly on Saturday, the Pakistan Government has set up a commission led by a retired Army officer to investigate the alleged “foreign conspiracy”.

The decision to constitute the commission, to be headed by Lieutenant General (retd) Tariq Khan, was taken at a Cabinet meeting, said Minister for Information Fawad Chaudhry. “We have evidence of eight dissident provincial lawmakers being in contact with foreign dignitaries. The commission will look at a connection between local handlers and regime change,” he said. —

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).
