Due to multiple questions about the direction and vision of the newspaper, Here are some words from Shirin Dalvi about the same(translated from Hindi):

Urdu language is an Indian language and it is spoken and understood , from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. Because it is written right to left, there have been attempts to adapt this to Devanagari, but Urdu is beautiful in itself. Even though there are lot of newspapers and magazines in Urdu, there seems to be a void which is not being filled. It is the duty of a Newspaper to get the real news to its readers, to inform them of the impact of news, to transform the readers’ way of thinking, to help keep pace with the electronic media in the world, to wipe out the hate spread in the name of religion, to bring people closer. Media should never become an instrument to spread religion. Also, women need a platform so they can speak about their issues and talk about their rights. The newspaper’s policy should be a policy of truth. Without verifying information, no news should be put out as is happening nowadays. News is being distorted in order to sensationalize it. And Tabloids are becoming more common, which often misleads the reader. We will take care of these things especially because this is what real journalism is.
