WARSAW, March 1

Several dozen activists protested in front of a Warsaw church guarded by police on Sunday as a Catholic archbishop, criticised for his anti-LGBT language, celebrated mass.

Last year, in a sermon, Archbishop Marek Jedraszewski said Poland was under siege from a “rainbow plague” of gay rights campaigners who he compared to Poland’s former Communist rulers. The church in Poland’s capital, full of worshippers, was surrounded by police in armored cars, while protesters carried banners reading: “I do not tolerate intolerance”, “Archbishop Jedraszewski should resign”. — Reuters

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).
