"Being Co-opted By An Ideology": Chief Justice NV Ramana's Advice To Reporters

Chief Justice of India NV Ramana today said the freedom of the press is a "valuable and sacred right enshrined in the Indian Constitution" without which there can be no debate or discussion that a democracy needs for its growth. "Allowing yourself to be co-opted by an ideology or the State is a recipe for disaster," he added while virtually delivering the keynote address at the RedInk Awards for Excellence in Indian Journalism, which took place in Mumbai.
