Gupt expressed regret over the way Narad Ji has been portrayed in general. He
said it is time that the real picture of Narad is brought to fore today. He
said that Narad should become a source of inspiration for journalists today.

state of communication by way of sharing information of one place with another.
He said Narad did not share news with any personal agenda or interest. His
action was always neutral.

Dr. Gupta also
said that it is the duty of a journalist to push people towards purity.
Journalists have an important role to play in success of any democracy. It is
imperative that journalists be factual and neutral in safeguarding a democratic
society. There is urgent need for issue based reporting to take the nation further.
He noted that journalism today is under immense economic pressure and
journalist can withstand such pressure by following in the footstep of Devrishi
Narad only then will journalism serve its true purpose.
