Here is who said what:
The former chief minister and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) president, Mehboob Mufti tweeted and called Ravish Kumar a fearless journalist who spoke truth.
When Ravish Kumar, our finest journalist who fearlessly spoke truth to power chooses to resign instead of compromising on his reportage, it speaks volumes about the state of affairs in media where truth has become the biggest casualty.

Climate activist Licypriya Kangujam from Manipur said that businessman Adani can not buy one true journalist like Ravish Kumar with all his money.
Adani can buy 100 news channels but he can’t buy 1 true journalist like Ravish Kumar with all his money.
