Islamabad, May 15

Workers of the Pakistan Democratic Movement on Monday set up a stage outside the Supreme Court and climbed over the gates as the ruling alliance announced a sit-in to protest the judiciary’s alleged “preferential treatment” to former PM Imran Khan. The protesters cited some recent rulings that provided blanket relief to Imran in a number of cases.

Pakistan’s National Assembly, meanwhile, unanimously adopted a motion seeking a special committee to file a case against Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial in the Supreme Judicial Council for “misconduct and deviating from oath”, escalating tensions. — Agencies

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).
