Also love how they keep mentioning 'Sonia comment' in every tweet to try to shift the narrative.

Wasn't the FIR primarily filed agains him for speaking ill against Sonia?
https://www.thehindu.com/news/citie...fir-against-arnab-goswami/article31410543.ece
The FIR filed by the police include charges of giving provocation with intent to cause riot, promoting enmity between two groups on grounds of religion or race, deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs and defamation under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Mr. Goswami, in his debate show on television, had allegedly made inflammatory statements regarding the Palghar mob lynching case.
Very naive of you to assume that Republic TV needs someone to be in a place to report about things from that place.
Reporting lies comes naturally to them.
Link of the inflammatory videos
Going by the FIR filed it is clear the main reason it was filed was because Arnab questioned sonia Gandhi. If you read the para 2 of the FIR you will know the base of the complain was more to do with Arnab questioning Gandhi parivar and less to do with any attack on minorities.
I didn't watch the show but how is asking sonia Gandhi to comment on palgarh lynching communal or against the minority. He was merely asking Congress and sonia gandhi to show the same concern for the sadhus as they would show when people from minorities are discriminated and killed. I see nothing wrong with that.
Also, there is no denying arnab being biased. And that is why I found this whole FIR filed when he questioned Sonia to be very petty. If you really had to.file a FIR it should have been filed against him long back considering his biasness. Filing it now just shows Congress' petiness.

And how does it matter if the FIR is filed on charges like causing enmity, provoking riots etc.
But again how is questioning sonia gandhi or asking her to speak up for sadhu lynching against minority or instigating people to riot. I am just going by the FIR report.
It just doesn't make sense. Arnab has been vocal and in fact sprouted more crap in the past but there was no FIR by congress then but he questions sonia and calls her by Italian name all hell breaks out and congress is crying.
Yet you are here defending Arnab Goswami and his communally charged inflammatory comments.
So questioning sonia Gandhi is communal. Have you even bothered to read the FIR. Read the para 2 and tell me how is asking sonia to comment on palgarh instance communal or instigating violence.
FIR is not only filed for defamation against Sonia Gandhi but also for various other inflammatory things said by goswami in his show. I suggest you first watch the show instead of blindly peddling propaganda of BJP IT Cell.
Did you even read the FIR or are just going to interpret everything wrong? Maybe you should read your own tweets that you share.
communal are the statements he made. And that’s why the FIR against him.
Read the FIR and then come defending sonia.
"Sonia from Rome is happy that saints are being beaten. She will report to Italy that saints are being beaten where her party has power."
This is a communal statement, not a political one.
Unlike you I've watched the show and also read the FIR, and not only the second paragraph but in full.
Did you even read the FIR or are just going to interpret everything wrong? Maybe you should read your own tweets that you share.
Performance audit can still be done for PM CARES fund as far as I understand. I get the suspicion but this was created for pandemic and PMNRF can be used for other relief work. Thought process might have been to accelerate the relief effort with dedicated fund.
Didn't government clarified that all faulty test kits will be returned and will cost government no money?
Also I don't think it's fair to quote price from a distributor who isn't licensed to distribute test kits in India. Negotiations might be better but still was under the ICMR rates for antibody test.
Also the situation is dire and there is incredible amount of pressure on the every agency. These kits are getting backordered as rich countries are overbidding and not leaving a lot of room for negotiation.
Even if that line about Sonia is ignored, just look at the headline at top which says "Is being a Hindu in India a sin?" and at bottom "Is there a silence because a Hindu is killed?" and another "Why Hindus are under attack?"
It basically implies that a murder was committed by someone from a minority community.
Arnab went too far. You can't claim conspiracy theories as news. He basically mentioned that Sonia is reporting to Christian missionaries in Rome and doing their work of beating up saints.
But FIR is a joke. It was more of a personal attack than communal.

That headline is inferring to Batla "tears" and countless other outrage when people of different community were involved.
Police literally gave up those 2 people to be lynched and not a peep. He never mentioned the identity of attacker in that show.
Also Arnab was forced out of Times Now by Congress pressure. It's personal for him against the Congress. I don't think he is communal as he has been bashing almost everyone for a long time now. It's just his Islamic bashing or criticism makes liberal news.
I am not defending arnab and his antics. I always found him someone who should not be given much attention. But I equally find congress party people's stance to be petty. Imagine leaders starting to arrest journalists because they are being questioned.
No one except you came up with that conclusion. Funny that you decide it is all about 2nd paragraph and nothing else and hang on to it.
Eh? There is no way this is true. Times Now is almost as pro-BJP as Republic. Rahul ShivShankar is called mini-Arnab for a reason, though now folks also call him RSS.
By all accounts, Arnab left Times Now so he could make even more money with his own channel since TimesNow was pretty much running on his brand.
Does arnab outright own the republic?
This seems more of a personal attack than communal. Just like accusing modi of being a nazi. Imagine if his party filed FIR for the same. It was a petty move by Congress party.
There was a strong rumour during his resignation that Congress forced his exit after diabolical Rahul Gandhi interview.
But your account is as good as mine.

No, one of the investors was a BJP upper house member at the inception. I think he probably owns a minority stake.
It's ironic that Arnab is called "Joseph Goebbels" while Sonia Gandhi has much closer history to Nazi Party.
Arnab is an easy Target. Subramanian Swamy has mentioned publicly that Sonia's dubious past before Rajiv Gandhi met her. Let's see how many FIR they put against him.
Hehe, funny you say this now.
Already did. He's clearly saying that a christian woman is happy that the guys got killed and will send a report to the Italian government and that she will get praised for that. On top of that, he's clearly instigating with statements like "80% Hindus" and all that.
Sure Congress is petty with the FIR, but normies can't take an action against a guy protected by the government, so swings and roundabouts. In any case, it's just a smokescreen to hide the events which are happening in the background. Typical of the NDA government.
And funny you are suddenly ok with journalists being attacked and his FOE taken. Hypocrisy is always funny.
I didn't think he used the word christian woman. His whole rant was mocking and questioning sonia Gandhi and Congress.
I know we have disagreed on political aspects and will probably continue doing so but trust me in this time neither sonia nor arnab should be given this much importance. The fact that Congress party got triggered doesn't sit well.
I don't care about arnab but I feel Congress party are not doing themselves any favors by getting involved in a battle with a journalist. I keep on saying the country needs a strong congress party otherwise we are just going to have BJP dominate for years without any competition.
People are happy when journalist ( or any other person ) they don't like gets attacked. Same people will cry when their favourites will get attacked.
Watch the entire rant again. he hasn't used the word but he has clearly implied it for instigation.
Are we still playing the "instigation = FoE" game?
Congress is rattled. This is low even from Congress standards
Communication 101: Failed. one doesn't reply to a question with a question.
also funny there are people defending a communal instigator though.
No, then why isn't it aimed at Rahul? Why the reference to Italy? Why the reference to Rome? Whom is she sending these reports to about Hindus killed?
This is basic communal poison.
