“In a democracy, ‘people first’ must be the principle of all institutions. And the media should listen to the voice of the people. Media is a ray of hope for the marginalized people of the society. Therefore, it must act freely and impartially to protect the interests of the state and its citizens. This will empower people and strengthen democracy,” said the BJD boss.
