In the very words of the chief guest,

“If you stop to speak, if you begin to tolerate, you are doing yourselves the greatest disservice.”

He expressed his happiness on being invited to the event and talked about having counter-narratives and healthy competition. He went on to add the importance of constructive and positive journalism in the present scenario. He also laid emphasis on the necessity of citizens to raise questions and duty of those in power to answer them. In his words, “if in a democracy you have a man ruling the nation who does not submit himself to a single question, it’s very disturbing.”

He expressed his concern over the growing fake news culture on the social media.

In the context of freedom of speech and press, he said, “the most dangerous thing about dictatorship is not it’s dictator but those who submit to dictatorship.”
