Speaking at a function organised to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the IJA, a representative body for UK-based correspondents and journalists reporting, at the India Club, Hinduja said, “Journalists should bring out a journal which could provide good analysis of various issues involving the UK-India relations.”
“IJA has to play an important role post-Brexit as so much has to be done in the fields of trade, investment and culture.
They are real challenging time to the media,” he said.
Kartar Lalvani, Founder-Chairman of Vitabiotics, described it as a “landmark event” as the IJA has seen how the UK-India relations flourished over the last 70 years.
Joginder Sanger, Chairman of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan spoke about the contributions of NRIs in building the UK-India relations.
