Arnab Goswami Attacked: Bollywood celebrities react on Arnab Goswami and his wife Samya getting assaulted

Last night Republic TV Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami and his wife were allegedly attacked by a couple of goons while the two were returning from the studio in their car. As per sources, the goons parked their bike in front of Arnab Goswami’s car and then attacked him. They threw black ink over the car and tried to escape. Soon after the incident, the Editor-in-Chief posted a video message on his news channel's social media account. He said that the attackers tried to stop his car by overtaking him and stopping their bike in front of his car.

Arnab further said, when he did not pay heed to them, the goons started hitting on his car’s windowpane to break it. As Arnab tried to escape from there, they started throwing ink on the car; the news anchor soon stepped on the accelerator and left from there. Arnab said that the attack was by some Congress activists and he held Sonia Gandhi responsible for the attack on him and his family.

I condemn the attack on #Arnab Goswami.I do not agree with his views but I defend his right to speak even if distasteful, just as I defend my right to criticise him publicly. Freedom of speech cannot be selective.The law of the land must prevail and the culprits punished
