At the FICCI FLO event, Arnab Goswami, one of India’s famous journalist who made his name on Times Now’s The Newshour, and then quit to launch his own venture – The Republic TV recently spoke about the different things going on in the nation.
“I will always stand up for the national anthem and speak in favour of the Indian Army. Does that make me a Sanghi?” A perturbed Arnab Goswami asked this question while addressing a crowd at the FICCI FLO event in Chennai on 21 February.
This speech was made just a day before Ramjas protests had made news in the National Capital.
Goswami, who is all set to launch his new TV channel Republic, appeared disappointed, with a tinge of anger in his voice. He couldn’t quite fathom why the country’s “pseudo liberals” rake up the intolerance debate only at selected events, only at selected time frames.
“Why are the tolerant intolerant and can we tolerate it any longer in this Republic,” he asked, before proceeding to explain his counter-view on a debate that has been propelled into an average Indian’s living room now.
