Shiv Sena, which is in office in Maharashtra with NCP and Congress, said being a journalist didn’t grant Arnab Goswami immunity from the charges against him.
Maharashtra Police arrested Goswami Wednesday in connection with a 2018 abetment to suicide case. Move sparked a flurry of reactions from senior journalists.
In a statement, the Editors Guild said it is 'is pained to see the unedifying spectacle of hundreds of FIRs being filed against journalists of Republic TV'.
The association said the speed with which the case, that involves Republic TV, was transferred to CBI raises doubts about the intentions and might lead to a witch-hunt against media.
The FIR is based on a complaint filed by Shashikant Pawar, a sub-inspector. Republic TV said the FIR was a 'global feat of state machinery trying to muzzle free media'.
Could it be that Indian news channels realised that their SSR trials had no proof to back allegations? Or did the Modi govt send them an off-the-record message?
A division bench of justices S S Shinde and M S Karnik said if such a summons is issued then Goswami shall appear before the police and cooperate with the investigation.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
Let’s cut short the bullshit. An ordinary citizen has accused the anchor of abetment to suicide of her family members. She has waited for a long time for her case to be addressed. The Maharashtra government has nothing to do with it. The Mumbai police are just doing their job.
Let the justice system deal with it. Let Arnab be acquitted quickly if he is not proven guilty. He should not be harassed by police whatsoever like the way he harassed others and spread hate in his channel. The police should show professionalism in handling him and respect his rights. But all are equal before the law. It goes without saying that the rights of the ordinary citizen must also be respected and justice should be demonstrated.
Many of us would not mind if Cowswami is encountered in the Indian tradition that he symbolises. He has been using his office to carry out RSS-BJP agenda, constantly spewing hate.
Hypocritical fools like Shah and Irani are talking about Democracy as though they religiously followed it. Do they even know the meaning of that word. If they did, then they would have protested against the Hathras incident.
It may be that emergency like powers are being used cleverly by Uddhav. But he is not the first. Shah and Co have used such powers to stall the CBI probe into the Karnataka mining scam, to open a 2011 IT return of Rahul which was closed long ago and to discharge many accused form serious cases even before trial It is just that Shah has met his match in Uddhav.
Maharashtra now reminds us of Colombia.
The decrepit rust bucket of a joke – the Congress party is showing how much “criminal power” it still wields in this country.
Is this how low we have fallen that the Central Government will turn a blind eye towards the lawlessness in Maharashtra?
Are they afraid of Sonia G?
Now we know when Godi chief is poked who feels the prick….
For me 1 minister’s tweet stood out:
‘Minister of Women and Child development’ comments angrily within couple of hours about a Chamcha noise box being arrested.
Takes 1 week to be angry about Rahul Gandhi visiting Hathras, but not a word for the victim.
Well, all political parties have an agenda in supporting or opposing the arrest of Arnab Goswami. But, most absurd post is by Priyanka Chaturvedi, who quit congress to Join SS. She must consult someone who knows law before posing the eloquently stupid questions. If one owes money to another and does not pay, it is a civil dispute to be decided by a civil court. How do Mah Police exercise jurisdiction in a civil case. They ought to have turned down the complaint of the Architect’s daughter. But, Priyanka Chaturvedi is too busy to pay attention to facts and law.
Why did not Shah and Jaishankar lead a protest against China after Indian land was taken ? Why are they so concerned about a local nobody ?
Proposal to increase retirement age, cut down pension in armed forces irks officers, veterans

It’s not that Arnab is a saint
But this is pure vendetta at its best

There was a suicide note left. This case fully requires investigation and a trial.
