    No, the 85%-15% cost sharing between Centre & State is NOT for the train tickets of Migrant Workers. Workers still pay these fares. Or they are paid for by NGOs,factory owners & if the states so choose, they can. For the next time you call our reports fake

    Prabha Dutt on assignment , at the war front in one, tailing dacoits in the other. Passed on the journalism gene to us but more than that taught me that there is an essential aloneness in the life of a good reporter and it will call on you to tap into all your grit.

    Tonight I will also tell you the story of Abdul Rehman Malbari of Surat. In the age of COVID, when families are either not willing or allowed to claim bodies of those who die, Abdul Bhai performs the antim sanskar for many Hindu families. I bow to his humanism, his nationalism.

    History will remember you and not the anchors spreading hate in the comfort of their air-conditioned studios. You have been and will always be above and beyond these minions. I connect with India through you and not them. Thank you.
