After spending a week in jail in judicial custody and getting bail from the Supreme Court again, journalist Arnab Goswami, who reached the newsroom again, attacked Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday for arresting him. Goswami, surrounded by her colleagues in Republic Channel, said, Uddhav Thackeray, listen to me. You lost
He also slammed Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh over his arrest in the 2018 case of allegedly abetting an interior designer for suicide.
Goswami said that police used to do three rounds of questioning in Taloja jail. He said that Uddhav Thackeray you arrested me in an old, fake case, and did not even apologize to me.
He said the game has started now. Goswami said that he would start Republic TV in every language and he also has a presence in the international media.
Expressing his apprehension of being arrested again, Goswami said, "I will also start (channel) from inside the jail, and you (Thackeray) will not be able to do anything." Goswami thanked the apex court for granting interim bail.
Explain that the Supreme Court questioned the action taken by the Maharashtra government against journalist Arnab Goswami in the 2018 case of abetment to suicide and said that banning a person's personal freedom in this way would be a mockery of justice. Simultaneously, the court ordered Arnab and other accused to be released on interim bail. Goswami was arrested last Wednesday. Goswami was released from Taloja jail in Rayagada district, hours after getting interim bail.
Goswami came out of jail at around 8.30 pm on Wednesday. He greeted the people outside the jail by shaking hands in the car. He said that he is grateful to the Supreme Court. Goswami displayed the victory sign saying 'this is the victory of the people of India'. Earlier, a bench headed by Judge Chandrachud had said that Arnab and two other accused be released on interim bail on a bond of Rs 50,000. The bench has directed the police commissioner to immediately follow the order.
A bench of Justices Dhananjay Y. Chandrachud and Justice Indira Banerjee said that if the state governments target the people, they should realize that there is a Supreme Court to protect the freedom of citizens. The apex court expressed concern that the state governments were targeting some people on the basis of differences of ideology and opinion.
Hearing Arnab Goswami's interim bail plea, the bench said, 'We are seeing cases coming up one after the other in which the High Court is not granting bail and they want to protect people's freedom, personal liberty Are failing. '
