The DS is 'Committed to People's Right to Know' as per your newspaper's motto. But 'People's Right to Know' is repeatedly infringed on when important events are not given due coverage. The DS failed to give as much coverage to the PM's speech given in the concluding budget session of the JS as to the opposition leader's given in the same session. Is the leader of the opposition more important a figure than the prime minister?

We know the DS, like other dailies, has it own way of supporting a particular cause, but that should not be reflected in hard news.
