A free press makes a stronger democracy: PM Modi

On World Press Freedom Day, PM Narendra Modi said, “A free press makes a stronger democracy! Today on WorldPressFreedomDay, let us reaffirm our commitment towards steadfastly supporting a free press. It is the multiplicity of ideas and human expression that makes us more vibrant as a society.

I applaud all those who have been working tirelessly to uphold freedom of press. It is due to these countless women and men that the spirit of a free press is significantly enhanced.

I would once again like to appreciate the proactive role of everyone on social media for their commendable work towards safeguarding the freedom of press and expression."
