On terror attack in Kulgam, Tasleema Akhter, Chairperson, Association of Terror Victims in Kashmir, said, "It is deeply distressing that yesterday in Kulgam, Pakistan-backed terrorism once again manifested its nefarious intentions. Several CRPF personnel were injured, and we pray for their swift recovery... They are fighting for peace, for humanity, and are deployed to safeguard this land. While there may currently be a sense of quiet in Kashmir, terrorism has not been eradicated...

'Every street has experts on every news story': PM Modi on changing media landscape
PM Modi said, "Over the past 25 years, a lot has changed. The country has changed, the world has changed, and so has the way politics is conducted. Changing technology has also transformed the media landscape considerably. While it has made the functioning of traditional media organisations somewhat easier, it has also brought new challenges. Earlier, the struggle was with large OB vans. Today, a mobile phone itself has become an OB van. Everyone now has their own platform, their own channel and their own podcast. There used to be a saying in India that every street had a cricket expert. Someone sitting in a village lane would tell you exactly what mistake Sachin (Tendulkar) had made. Today, every street has experts on every news story. We have an old saying: ‘As many mouths, so many opinions.’ Sometimes, it seems that there are as many opinions in this country as there are people. These diverse opinions are what keep our democracy vibrant, and the Indian media undoubtedly plays a very significant role in this."

PM Modi's 2001 flashback: Journalists barged into his room, demanded sweets and told him he was becoming Gujarat CM

PM Modi recalls how journalists broke the news of his 2001 elevation before he did
PM Modi said, "Last month marked 25 years since I took over as the head of the government. I remember it very clearly. I still wonder what it is about you people that always manages to catch us off guard... At that time, hardly anyone knew about it. Only two or four senior people in the party were aware. I used to spend most of my time here at 11 Ashoka Road. One day, an entire group of journalists barged into my room. Normally, journalists would never do that to me, but on that particular day, they simply walked in. There used to be a women’s brigade among them, which wielded considerable influence. They demanded, ‘You have to treat us with sweets.’ I asked, ‘What are we celebrating? Why should I distribute sweets?’ They replied, ‘You are going to Gujarat. You are going to become the Chief Minister’. I told them I had no idea about it. But they insisted, ‘We all know it. You are lying.’ Very few people actually knew about the decision, yet this entire group of journalists had somehow found out. Anyway, their information turned out to be correct. It was quite difficult for me to respond to them at the time. But what made me really happy was that when I took oath in 2001, many of my journalist friends came to attend the ceremony at their own expense and made their own arrangements. They did not come there to report the event, but out of affection, friendship and a sense of personal connection.”
