Islamabad, May 17

Pakistan on Monday served a demarche on Afghanistan’s ambassador Najibullah Alikhel, protesting against the accusations by the Afghan leadership. Pakistan’s Foreign Office, however, did not specify the statement which angered it. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani alleged that Pakistan “operates an organised system of support” for theTaliban. “ The names of various decision-making bodies of the Taliban are Quetta Shura, Miramshah Shura and Peshawar Shura. There is a deep relationship with the state,” the Afghan leader said. — PTI

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).
