The leaked WhatsApp chats of Arnab Goswami, an anchorperson of Indian Channel Republic TV, has exposed the sinister designs hatched by Modi’s government to blame Pakistan for the false Pulwama attack, followed by a botched air strike on Balakot in 2019.
According to Indian media, a 500-page document regarding chats of Arnab Goswami with Partho Dasgupta, the former chief executive officer of Broadcast Audience Research Council, revealed damning information related to Goswami’s closer ties with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s office and members of the ruling government.
Arnab Goswami, in his chats, also claimed that Modi’s government was about to take a big step against Pakistan, and it would be much bigger than any such attack before. Goswami had information about the Indian designs on February 23, 2019, and the infiltration attempt took place on February 26, in which Pakistan Air Force shot down the intruding Indian plane in a dog fight.
The leaked chats created a storm in India where many journalists, TV anchorpersons, bloggers, and noted personalities bitterly criticized Modi’s government for staging false attacks on Indian soldiers and blaming Pakistan, merely for the sake of winning elections.
In their Twitter posts, they called it the level of nationalism of the Indian rulers and the inhuman acts of bigots.
