May they work in the interest of the people, upholding their trust as watchdogs of democracy. On the occasion of National Press Day, I extend my warm greetings to journalists across the country, and especially in Meghalaya. This day symbolises a free and responsible media in India. We recognise the vital role of journalists as the conscience keepers of our democracy, as they uncover the truth in a free, fair, and responsible manner. I wish them all the very best in their endeavours.”
