Deepika fears no one, says Church-run daily’s MD

Kottayam: Deepika fears no one, and Deepika fears only the Almighty God, said Fr Michael Vettikkatt, managing director of Rashtra Deepika Ltd, the Church-run daily's owner. He was speaking at the conclusion of the announcement rally held at Thirunakkara, Kottayam, in connection with Deepika's 140th anniversary. He stated that if one examines Deepika's editorials, it becomes clear that it will not compromise its freedom of opinion before anyone. The Church's perspectives, such as establishing schools alongside churches and starting midday meal programmes, are part of implementing Jesus's great social visions, which Deepika's forefathers initiated. As Deepika enters its 140th year, every member of the Deepika family is prepared to uphold and proclaim its unchanged stances. Deepika has not altered its positions at all. Opinions will be expressed openly and will continue to be so, he added. Meanwhile, N Hari. the BJP representative who was invited on the stage among other invitees, did not attend the function.
