On #WorldPressFreedomDay, let's confront the harsh reality: under BJP rule, India's press freedom is in tatters.
With low rankings in the Press Freedom Index, and the murders of journalists like Gauri Lankesh and Kalburgi, along with constant intimidation of journalists like Siddique Kappan, Rana Ayyub, and many others who dare to speak truth to power, the BJP rule paints a sorry picture for #PressFreedom.
As we celebrate the role of the press in democracy, let's reaffirm our commitment to upholding the values of free speech and ensuring journalists can work without fear or oppressive censorship.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin extended congratulations to higher secondary students across the state who successfully cleared their Class 12 board examinations. Describing higher secondary completion as a decisive milestone leading into collegiate education and professional careers, Stalin urged young achievers to pursue their academic ambitions with unwavering confidence and dedication.
The Chief Minister assured students that comprehensive institutional support is readily accessible to assist them in navigating university admissions. He highlighted that state initiatives, notably the Naan Mudhalvan platform, offer expert career counseling, entrance coaching assistance, and industry-oriented skill training to enable students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds to access premier higher education institutions.
Stalin offered encouraging words to students who obtained lower marks or failed to clear particular subjects, noting that sincere effort never encounters permanent defeat. He urged them to make determined use of supplementary examinations and diverse diploma opportunities. Stalin emphasized that the state government continues expanding higher educational infrastructure, laboratories, and polytechnic facilities to ensure that rural and urban students alike can pursue advanced technical careers. Reaffirming the state's focus on universal education, Stalin called upon all young learners to continue their studies resolutely and achieve lasting academic excellence.
