10 hours and counting! Goswami’s interrogation continues at Police Station for Sonia comment

Mumbai, April 28: Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami on Monday was interrogated by Mumbai Police for over ten hours at the N M Joshi Marg police station. He was questioned over his comments wherein he criticised Sonia Gandhi’s silence over the lynching of sadhus in Palghar. This is after Arnab was granted a three week protection from arrest by the Supreme Court for his on-air criticism of Sonia Gandhi.

 

Meanwhile, the two individuals arrested on charges of attacking Arnab and his wife have been granted bail by the Bhoiwada Court. Arnab has is still stuck to his belief that the two are Youth Congress workers. "Arnab’s interrogation started at 9.20 AM in the morning and the journo only came out briefly for a couple of minutes before going back again", the Republic TV reported adding that on April 27 the Mumbai police had sent Arnab two notices within a span of 12 hours seeking to immediately interrogate him.

Goswami mounting a searing attack against the interim Congress president Sonia Gandhi, questioned if she would have maintained the silence she is exhibiting today had Christian padres been killed instead of Hindu sadhus in the horrifying lynching incident in Palghar.

 

“I would like to ask the country, would the country had remained silent if Maulvis or Christian Padres would have been targeted the way Hindu saints were? Would Italy’s Antonia Maino (Sonia Gandhi) have remained silent then? I would like to tell you, if the victims had been Christian padres, Sonia Gandhi, who had come from Rome, would not have remained close-mouthed on the issue,” Arnab had said in his live TV show.

 

Arnab Goswami, known for not mincing his words, also slammed the media channels who have fought shy of covering the gruesome murder of the Hindu sadhus by a rampaging mob in Gadchinchle village of Palghar. He questioned why the media outlets are silent on the cold-blooded murder of the Hindu saints.
