Karni Sena, VHP ‘s memorandum to President for Arnab

The leaders of the Rajput Karni Sena, Surat and VHP came together on Tuesday and wrote a memorandum, seeking Arnab Goswami’s release. In the memorandum shared by Surjeet Singh Rathore, who had made headlines during the Sushant Singh Rajput case, the organisations have written:

“The manner in which the police, on the instructions of Mumbai Police has, in a dictatorial manner, arrested the innocent journalist Arnab Goswami, in a fake case that he had received a clean chit for, is condemnable. From nationalist groups, we request that he be released immediately. The Centre should also take note of the case because the environment could worsen, people could lose faith in democracy and no will be able to do unbiased journalism in the future."
