South Korea’s Constitutional Court reinstated PM Han Duck-soo to the post of acting president on Monday, striking down his impeachment as he pledged to focus on steering Asia’s fourth-biggest economy through a US “trade war”.

He had earlier taken over from President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was impeached over his imposition of martial law in December. The martial law declaration sparked a leadership vacuum. Han had initially lasted less than two weeks in the post and was impeached on December 27 after clashing with the opposition-led parliament by refusing to appoint three judges.

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).
