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:

Ahmedabad: A sessions court in Gujarat’s Amreli district recently sentenced three persons to life imprisonment for cow slaughter under provisions of the Gujarat Animal Preservation Act.

In the judgement, Sessions Judge Rizvana Bukhari held Kasim Solanki, Sattar Solanki and Akram Solanki guilty of cow slaughter, observing that the three men did it despite knowing that the animals were considered sacred in Hinduism, as reported by Deccan Herald.

The court also imposed a heavy fine of Rs 6 lakh on each of the accused.

The Gujarat Animal Preservation Act prohibits slaughter of any animal of cow progeny in the state.

The Bhupendra Patel-led Gujarat government hailed the verdict as "historic" and asserted that the government was committed to protect the cow which is the "center of Indian culture and faith and the state government will have no mercy" for such crimes.

During the proceedings, Special Public Prosecutor Chandresh Mehta said that this was the first time that three persons had been convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in a single case of cow slaughter in Gujarat by a court.
