Republic TV’s Editor-in-chief, Arnab Goswami was recently arrested in a 2 year-old abetment to suicide case.
Reacting to this development, Kangana Ranaut has slammed the Maharashtra Government in yet another scathing video, and also compared herself and Arnab to ‘free speech greats’!
In May 2018, 53-year-old interior designer Anvay Naik and his mother Kumud Naik had died by suicide in Alibaug, over alleged non-payment of dues by Goswami’s Republic TV.
A suicide note purportedly written by Anvay claimed Goswami and two others — Feroz Shaikh and Niteish Sarda —had not paid him Rs 5.40 crores which led to his financial constraints.
After Goswami’s arrest, the Manikarnika actress took to Twitter with a video signalling her support for Arnab, captioned – “Message for Maharashtra government @republic #Arnab #ArnabWeAreWithYou #ArnabGoswami”
In a heated rant, Kangana said, “I want to ask the Maharashtra government that today, you went inside Arnab Goswami’s house, beat him, pulled him by his hair, assaulted him. How many houses will you break? How many throats will you choke, how many people’s hair will your pull and how many voices will you silence?
She continued, “Sonia Sena, how many mouths will you gag? These voices will keep growing. Before us, so many martyrs’ throats were slit, they were hanged for their right to free speech. No matter, you will silence, many others will rise.”
In another tweet, the Queen actress again mocked ‘Sonia Sena’ and ‘Pappu Sena’, while comparing Arnab to ‘free speech greats’.
“Pappupro ko gussa kyun aata hai? Penguins ko gussa kyun aata hai? Sonia sena ko itna gussa kyun aata hai? (Why are Pappuro, Penguins and Sonia Sena so angry) Arnab sir let them pull your hair and assault you for the cause of free speech greats before us got hanged with smiles on their faces,Aazadi ka karz chukana hai (We have to pay the debt of freedom) #ArnabGoswami.”
