“Udhav Thackeray will kill everyone to save his son.The day is very close the same way baby?will be dragged like Arnab Goswami as he is involved in murder of SSR.This goons nothing else. U Arnab paid 90% to Avnay Naik than why he will not pay 10%.and that it’s a civil proceeding before barging to Arnab how reminder notice was sent Arnab to pay 10% pending amount.If Avnay naik committeed suicide for 10% pending payment of arnab goswami.”””
With his arrest the Indian government and other political parties have shown their true face. Now, I know why so much crime is there in our country. Because all they target are the innocent people and real criminals roam freely. SHAME ON CBI, and other government agencies. You all are eating our money and doing nothing for our security.
Arnab is our hero…he stood for the right always, be it exposing Bollywood lobbies, justice to SSR , disha saliyan, and so many others,,
I’m as an Assamese and Indian standing for the truth will always support Arnab goswami… but his arrest actually shows how threatened is failed MAHARASHTA Govt. To SHUT THE VOICE OF DEMOCRACY…YES INDEEED STEPING TO EMERGENCY IN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC INDIA.
#SHAME
Hero ? He is a murderer and a criminal..a hatemonger who is dividing thr country by his hatred filled speeches, an arrogant bully not a journalist by ny means
Murderer??? Criminal??? Are u sick … u should get a checkup. Ur the hater here blaming an innocent person over brutal crimes. Can’t believe people like u exist but they do. Arnab inspires me to speak up and not just me but all of those who love and supporters Arnab.
People like u hate him for many random reasons… but we support his for many reasons tht he spoke up whereas those particular issues were ignored by others. Where were u when those issues were ignored. Where were u when Hindu saint were killed brutaly and other news channel just covered it up with fake news.
Tab aawaj nahi nakalti … abhi bada bhok rahe ho
Very welldone Mumbai Police. As a Pakistani I salute you for arresting this maniac. This should be a lesson to Pakistan’s pro-establishment and pro Imran Khan Niazi and pro ISPR and pro Bajwa journalists like Kamran Khan, ARY news, Samaa TV, Geo, Jang, and others who spew venom against political parties for demanding true democracy in the country and for trying colonize the Sindh and Balochistan as the colonies of establishment and military generals like Bajwa and Faiz.
