Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif has told the coalition partners that he would recommend the dissolution of the national assembly on August 9, three days before the end of its term and setting the stage for general elections in the cash-strapped country.

Sharif said the assembly would stand dissolved as soon as the President signs the notification, a media report stated.

The move will prompt general elections in Pakistan within 90 days.

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).
