00:00I was once invited to a lunch in 2019 with his family members.
00:06That day, he spoke about the situation of the country, especially about the press switch.
00:11How bad the press was.
00:13He never compromised.
00:15If I have to say one thing,
00:17it may be someone he knows, may be his friend, may be his family members.
00:21Even when he comes for the people, he is very impartial and indiscriminate.
00:26His way of thinking.
00:28That is reflected in today's newspaper.
00:30How important the press switch is to the country.
00:33How bad it is for the people.
00:35When he said that, I understood his pain.
00:38We all know how many kinds of restrictions were imposed on such a person.
00:43Generally, people with such values and commitments,
00:46it is very easy for other businesses to make him a burden.
00:49Enduring such burdens,
00:51the journalist's uncompromising attitude, uncompromising valour,
00:56I am very happy to see all that.
00:58Even if he says one thing,
01:00You are an upcoming political leader.
01:02I wish you all the best.
01:03Don't compromise in life.
01:04Whatever you believe in,
01:06I can't forget what he said today.
01:09When we look at the Right to Information Act,
01:12in the 2008 Right to Information Act,
01:15the people should know everything about what is happening in the government,
01:19how the government is functioning.
01:21For that, he united all of us,
01:23in Andhra Pradesh,
01:25in Ummadi, Andhra Pradesh,
01:27he acted as a hero.
01:30He definitely has the strength of an icon.
01:33Because he saved the values of a journalist,
01:35no matter how much trouble he faced,
01:37no matter how much trouble he faced,
01:39being a journalist,
01:41being the head of a newspaper,
01:43facing all the hurdles,
01:45no matter what he did,
01:47no matter what he did,
01:49he didn't compromise the values of a journalist.
01:54He didn't compromise the values of a journalist.
01:56The cost of his family members also.
01:58He went ahead and upholded the journalistic values.
02:00For that, very bravely,
02:03someone has to learn from him.
02:05His journalistic heritage and influence,
02:08to protect the people,
02:10in any style,
02:12be it a journalist or a head of a newspaper,
02:14we have to protect it.
02:16For example,
02:18his presentation of news on ETV,
02:21was very neutral and unbiased.
02:23Similarly,
02:25when a party commits a mistake,
02:27and the people who don't like it,
02:29are in trouble,
02:31he doesn't back out,
02:33he puts it on the front page.
02:35He did that very strongly on the front page.
02:37For that, I feel,
02:39his journalistic values,
02:41his heritage and influence,
02:43every journalist should learn from him.
