New Delhi: A social media outrage against journalist and Editor of Republic TV, Arnab Goswami saw the journalist on top-trending hashtags in India on Wednesday afternoon. Twitter users in India demanded arrest of Goswami calling him anti-India and hate monger.

The netizens slammed Arnab Goswami, his channel and work ethics and blamed it for spreading hate among the citizens of different communities of the country. They also labeled him as anti-India and hashtag #ArrestAntiIndiaArnab soon rocketed its way to the top trending hashtags in India. By 5 pm the hashtag had recorded nearly 1.5 lakh tweets to be placed as top trending hashtag in India.

The users called out Arnab’s recent debate show on Palghar lynching incident of Sadhu’s wherein the journalist gave communal colors to the incident. The twitter outrage comes hours after Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh confirmed that there were no Muslims among the people arrested for the lynching incident, clearing the air that there was no communal angle to incident.

Arnab in his debate show had questioned silence of Congress leaders and those calling themselves as secular. He had also pointed at Congress chief Sonia Gandhi for her silence on the issue adding that he believed Sonia Gandhi was happy over the incident as no Muslim men were lynched in the incident but it were Hindu Sadhus. And tried to create an impression that it was a communal incident and one particular minority community had lynched the Hindu Sadhus.

The users also shared video clips of Arnab’s show wherein he had blamed the minority community of India for the spread of COVID-19 in India.

Radhika Khera, National Media coordinator of INC also tweeted with the hashtag and added that she supports the arrest of Arnab Goswami. Former NSUI President, Alka Lamba, was also among those who supported the campaign.

Earlier in the day, the Congress party had filed several complaints against Goswami for reportedly distorting and misrepresenting the statement of Rahul Gandhi over lockdown situation, the party activists had also called out on the journalist for referring Sonia Gandhi as Italian.

“A scrutiny of Arnab Goswami’s show reveals that he not only brought in Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s name without any context in debate but repeatedly and deliberately referred to Italy as their (Congress’) country” a party source was quoted as saying by leading media houses.

Here are some of the tweets:

Washington (PTI): US President Donald Trump and other top White House officials were evacuated unharmed from the annual dinner of White House correspondents after a man armed with multiple weapons fired shots outside the ballroom of the hotel.

The incident took place at around 8:34 PM local time when dinner was served. At that time, Trump was seen having a conversation with Weijia Jiang, the President of the White House Correspondents' Association, and mentalist Oz Pearlman, who was scheduled to present a show at the marquee event at the Washington Hilton here.

Secret Service officials and other security personnel covered the President, First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President J D Vance, and the Second Lady Usha Vance, who were seated at the head table, and escorted them out of the ballroom.

Several guests at the dinner, including leaders across the political spectrum, journalists and other invitees, ducked under the table, apparently as a reflex reaction.

Putting up a brave face, President Trump later announced on Truth Social that the dinner would be rescheduled within 30 days.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom is all that I heard, and many guests ducked under the table,” a C-SPAN reporter at the dinner said.

Hours later, Trump addressed a press conference at the White House and announced that the security personnel had captured one person who hails from California.

“I heard a noise and sort of thought it was a tray going down. I've heard that many times. It was a pretty loud noise, and it was from quite far away. He (the attacker) hadn't reached the area at all. They really got him,” Trump told reporters, recalling the incident.

Trump said one security officer was shot at but saved as he was wearing a bulletproof vest.

Several protestors had lined up on the road outside the hotel, raising slogans against the Trump administration and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth.

A CNN reporter who was outside the ballroom at the Washington Hilton said he saw a gunman opening fire just a few feet away. He was among the dozens of attendees who took cover as law enforcement swarmed the venue.

The suspect has been identified as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen from California.

Asked how Saturday’s incident impacts him as the US president, Trump told reporters he is in a dangerous job but that he is no “basket case.”

“I like not to think about it. I lead a pretty normal life, considering, you know, it’s a dangerous life. I think I handle it as well as it can be handled,” Trump said.

Trump has survived two assassination attempts over the past two years – first at a presidential election campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024, and later in Palm Beach, Florida, on September 15, 2024.

“I will say you had Republicans, Democrats, independents, conservatives, liberals, and progressives...everybody in that room, big crowd, record-setting crowd,” he said.

“We had some great work done by law enforcement, but in light of this evening's events, I ask that all Americans recommit with their hearts in resolving our differences peacefully,” Trump said.
