आज मेरे ऊपर भारी दवाब था कि @jayantrld की किसान पंचायत की समय से पहले वीडियो बनाकर फ्लॉप दिखाया जाएं।
मीडिया चैनल के मालिक पूंजीपति है और पूंजीपतियों की सरकार है।किस तरह ईमानदार पत्रकारों को झूठ बोलने/दिखाने के लिए मजबूर किया जाता है#RakshitSingh
In one of the videos, Rakshit is seen saying, “My parents gave me education with the money earned through their sweat and blood. I chose this profession. Why did I choose this profession? Because I wanted to show the truth. But I am not being allowed to show the truth.”
He then threw his office file to announce, “Laat Maarta hoon aisi naukri ko ( I kick this job).”
The journalist said that he was earning in excess of Rs. 12 lakh in annual salary, adding that he was aware that he may not find another job because of his stand on the farmers’ protest. Hailing from Bijnor in Uttar Pradesh, he said that he had worked in several newspapers including Patrika and Bhaskar. “No one can point fingers at me. I have only worked as a honest journalist in the last 15 years. I can’t even open a shop (due to paucity of funds).”
Rakshit said that he wouldn’t hesitate to beg for money if he failed to find another job.
Meanwhile. netizens have begun hailing him as a hero.
