New Delhi: International Affairs expert Gilbert Doctorow on Tuesday slammed Republic TV Chief Arnab Goswami and added that his language was not fit to carry an intellectual debate.

Gilbert was appearing as a panelist on one of Arnab’s shows covering military tensions between Ukraine and Russia.

Reacting to the question posed by Arnab, the panelist from Lisbon started by asking whether he is “allowed” to speak and remarked that Goswami has established a “Kangaroo court” by his way of moderating the panel.

Further, he commented on Goswami’s verbatim and his use of “hyper words” and “emotive language” that are not suitable for intellectual discussion while highlighting Arnab’s brutal response to another panelist from China.

Gilbert asserted that “it is nothing but an irresponsible and senseless war and that the war is against NATO. The end game of Putin is to show the shambles that NATO is, and to take the American knee off the neck of Europe.”

The panelist took a jibe at Goswami as he stated that “the major beneficiary, if Putin wins would be China and India and therefore the show is against the interests of your own country.”
