Highlight
- Union Minister Prakash Jawdekar condemned the arrest of Arnab Goswami, editor-in-chief of Republic TV.
- His arrest, he alleged, was a reminder of the state of emergency.
- Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut responded in the same tone.
- However, Shiv Sena’s leader Sanjay Raut claimed that Shiv Sena’s government in Maharashtra had not retaliated.
Arnab Goswami, editor-in-chief of Republic TV, was arrested by Mumbai police on Wednesday morning. He was arrested on charges of inciting a former suicide. Arnab Goswami was taken to Raigarh for questioning in this case. This morning, more than a dozen Mumbai police officers went to Arnab’s home to arrest him. In May 2016, the editor-in-chief of Republic TV was arrested in connection with the death of interior designer Anbay Naik and his mother Mukund Naik in Alibag.
Shortly after Arnab Goswami’s arrest, Union Minister Prakash Jawdekar harshly criticized the Shiv Sena government in this regard. “We condemn the attack on press freedom in Maharashtra,” he said. The incident reminds us of a moment of emergency, when the media was treated like this.

Besides the release, Smriti Irani, Sushil Kumar Modi and many others also sang in the same vein. Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut also went vocal. He wrote on Instagram: ‘Why are Pappu supporters so angry? Why are the penguins so angry? Why is Sonia Sena so angry? Lord Arnab, let them pull your hair. Let’s start the attack openly. Let’s put a smile on your face before we hang up. You have to pay the price of freedom. Kangana also sent a one-handed video message to the Maharashtra government.
However, the leader of Shiv Sena, Sanjay Raut, has dismissed all the accusations. He said: “If there is evidence against someone in the hands of the police, they can take action.” No action has been taken against anyone since the formation of the Thackeray government.
