The Congress party had staged a rally in Mumbai with a protest against Republic TV Editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami over his leaked WhatsApp Chats with BARC CEO Partho Dasgupta which included him knowing about the Balakot Air Strike and other national issues.

The party has also alleged that the opposition and it's top officials are shielding Goswami. Today a protest took place outside the Republic TV's office in Lower Parel. A rally took place in Jambori Maiden in Worli. The senior officals of the party have called for a nationwide protest over this issue.

Mumbai Congress Chief Bhai Jagtap said "Goswami knew about the Balakot Air Strike three days in advance and the information was leaked to him by top BJP leaders. He is a 'Traitor' and should be booked for sedition."

He later added "BJP leaders are shielding him for their political interest by compromising national security. Goswami has used the sacrifice of CRPF Jawans matyred in the Pulwama Attack for financial gain by boosting TRPs."

He has also said that if central agencies can't book him then Mumbai Police should do it"If Central agencies failed to take action against him, Mumbai Police should go ahead and book him for the serious violations."

In his response on January 19, Goswami said "It is beyond absurd to suggest that expecting India to strike back at Pakistan, after the Pulwama attack,was a crime. It was publicly available information and thousands of journalist reported, wrote,broadcast and analysed in the same direction after Pulwama. I am horrified that Congress party thinks that any journalist in India expressing the views publicly stated by the government is committing a crime."
