Bangladesh’s Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus on Monday assured former prime minister Khaleda Zia’s party that his interim government is preparing to hold general elections by December, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party’s top leader said.

“He informed us that they are working to stage the election by December,” BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir told journalists after a meeting with the interim government chief. “We have repeatedly urged the government to hold polls quickly. We have again pressed them on this matter,” he added.

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).
