The Citizen is a non funded news organization that takes pride in honesty, courage and independence. We believe in professional integrity and maintain a code of ethics centering on public trust, truthfulness, fairness, integrity, independence and accountability. We are determined to fight for the truth.

The case is sub judice so it is difficult to say more at this stage. We need your support and solidarity.

We have rejected Ambani’s charges in toto and thank Senior Advocate, Colin Gonsalves and his legal team including Shreeji Bhavsar, Advocate for their amazing support.

We reject attempts to silence the media, and believe that an independent media -- devoid of political or corporate funding -- is crucial to the future of journalism. #TheCitizenIsYou
