Lahore, December 26

Pakistan’s ex-PM Nawaz Sharif’s nomination papers have been accepted by the election commission despite questions on his eligibility to contest the February 8 general elections in the wake of “life-long disqualification” by the apex court.

Sharif’s lawyer Amjad Pervez said no objections to 73-year-old Sharif’s candidature had been raised. “Nawaz Sharif will now contest both from Lahore and Mansahra city of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,” he said, adding that Sharif’s disqualification had ended after his acquittal in a corruption case.

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).
