Nitin Sethi, Kumar Sambhav Shrivastava
Supreme Court has not heard the Electoral Bond case for more than 2 years after receiving data from parties in a sealed cover. That has let the belief spread that Electoral Bonds were encashed by 105 political parties and the BJP’s claim that bonds are an efficient way to allow “donation to any political party of donors’ choice”.
We are facing a critical moment. While we struggle to look for funds to pay our journalists, our crisis deepened after the tax authorities revoked our non-profit status last month, claiming that journalism does not serve a public purpose.
This decision threatens our ability to fund fearless, investigative reporting.
But we stand by our belief: that journalism, when done right, is a vital public service for our democracy, one that holds power to account.
Now, more than ever, we need your support. If you believe journalism is a public good, stand with us. Every contribution matters. Help keep our independent reporting alive.
