Raj Kamal Jha, Chief Editor, The Indian Express : “When The Lights Dim, We Turn To The North Star”

#NewsHour#BreakingNews#EnglishNewsIn his vote of thanks address, Raj Kamal Jha, Chief Editor of The Indian Express, said, referring to Chief Justice of India Justice DY Chandrachud, “your vision for a free press and your notes of caution affirm our faith that the Supreme Court will remain, to borrow a metaphor you used recently, the North Star. For journalists and journalism”. Jha added: “year after year, case after case, that starlight has illuminated the road ahead” and “the Court has kept pushing back at the State to expand our freedoms”. “That’s why when the lights dim… When a reporter is arrested under a law meant for terrorists; another for asking a question; a university professor for sharing a cartoon; a college student for a speech; an actor for a comment; or when a rejoinder to a story comes in the form of a police FIR, we turn to the North Star for its guiding light,” he said. #rajkamaljha#indianexpresschiefeditor#indianexpress .
