Frontiers of Truth Through Writings

Punjab Kesari is a newspaper that faced challenges and struggles step by step. Following this path, the history written by Punjab Kesari is not seen in any printing press, newspaper or journalism world in the world. The martyrdom of Shaheed Shiromani Lala Jagat Narain Ji on 9 September 1981 and the martyrdom of his son Amar Shaheed Ramesh Chandra Ji on 12 May 1984. These two incidents are not only saga of the sacrifice of a father and son in the history of journalism but they are also a glorious history in which two editors refused to bow down before the terrorists and the blood of 62 people who are associated with Punjab Kesari is also recorded in the history of this Punjab Kesari as innocent murders committed by terrorists.

Punjab Kesari was born in 1965 and became the flag of truth in the form of a newspaper and launched that tradition of a father on 1 January 1983 in the capital of the country as Punjab Kesari. This progressive newspaper has established the dimensions of success one after the other and is basically serving the readers of the capital Delhi, Haryana, UP, Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Bengal, Orissa. Overall, Punjab Kesari reaches millions of families and the number of readers is in crores. Punjab Kesari has access to every stage of life of millions of families. But one thing is true and in the history of Punjab Kesari, it is worth noting that in the world of journalism, if the style of writing news with fearless, fearless, domineering and truthfulness keeps us on the heights, then all this is a day or a night or if someone says that it has been easily found, then it does not matter. We, our family members have shed blood and sweat to achieve this high position. They have abandoned you at every step. Day and night, afternoon, evening and night, we have reached the highest level by meditating in the furnace of hard work. In fact, Punjab Kesari is still an independent newspaper and the founder Shaheed Shiromani Lala Jagat Narain Ji used to tell Amar Shaheed Ramesh Chandra Ji that we are an independent newspaper. We don't have to worry about anybody's criticism. You have to maintain your ideals. Don't compromise with anyone. How we achieved independence, I have seen the martyrdom of an immortal martyr like Lala Lajpat Rai with my own eyes, so never be afraid of martyrdom. It is better to shed blood but not compromise on anyone. Do not kneel before anyone because we have fearlessly endured the partition of 1948 by wearing the armour of patience after the independence of the country in 1947. In the true sense, Punjab Kesari has protected these ideals.

Ashwani Kumar ji had imbibed this mantra on January 1, 1983 and with this tone, Punjab Kesari is being published today. Punjab Kesari never wavered in the most difficult circumstances. Even the smallest of incidents that happen every day, whether it is from the streets to the Parliament, Punjab Kesari has always kept its traditions and moral values at its height. If we are at the top of the pyramid, it is because of the role of journalists, reporters, distributors, photographers and agents working on our editorial desks. In order to keep the newspaper a mirror of independent thought, we still have the principle that every man should be heard. When Ashwini Ji held the pen of Shri Ramesh Ji and conducted Punjab Kesari, but when he passed away on 18th January 2020, a big void was filled. It was not easy to fill, but with the grace of God and the blessings of ancestors, Aditya Narayan Chopra took over the pen as a young editor. He, along with his two younger brothers Arjun Chopra and Aakash Chopra, successfully carried forward this mission. If the newspaper is old, then the values and principles are also old that we have to move forward with truthfulness, fearlessness and fearlessness. Whether it is the ruling party or the opposition, today Punjab Kesari is being run by the young generation, but every side is heard and published in a news.

Under the supervision of Kiran Chopra, director of Punjab Kesari, Punjab Kesari is still standing with the love of the readers. The big thing is that whether it is corruption or any other scandal in the country, Punjab Kesari has never compromised in publishing it as news. He took care of the interest of the people and established the ideal that Punjab Kesari is a newspaper for the people and for the people. This is the reason why Punjab Kesari has the highest respect in a democracy. The truth is that through the pen of Lala ji, Punjab Kesari is standing as a spokesman in politics today to bring the right news to the people and against the power, the reason behind this is that people know that this newspaper writes the truth and writes fearlessly. Not only this, if anyone criticizes this newspaper, then Punjab Kesari also established a tradition that it should also be published. This is the reason that when the people of Punjab started migrating to Delhi after the murder of Lalaji and Ramesh ji, Ashwini Kumar stood as an Iron Man that the business established by his ancestors should not be left and it is better if people stay in Punjab. People accepted his point.

Dainik Punjab Kesari went on to become the voice of the people and later it became a big force and it is true that is why sometimes this Punjab Kesari had to face crises. Our unshakable courage of truth and efforts to convey truth to the people never wavered. Our image was established as a watchdog of truth. In this context, there is a consistency in the editorial policy of Punjab Kesari that no other newspaper has. We faced long onslaught by terrorists and lost many stalwarts including Lalaji and Rameshji who were truthfully guiding us. The people who were the most astonished by the killing of justice-loving people like Lalaji and Rameshji were those who were ill-resourced. Lalaji and Ramesh ji used to take special care of the underprivileged. Even after Lalaji's murder, when Rameshji took over as the editor, our intention was not to bow down to the terrorist groups. The terrorists bowed down in front of the truth, their intentions were also destroyed, but the blood of truth still runs in the veins of Punjab Kesari. Terrorism was such an era that Punjab Kesari staff lost 62 lives. But we persevered, and the situation was so shaky that we became a rock in the sea. People had hope and faith that Punjab Kesari is with us and this faith is still intact.
