Questioning Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh for his delayed response to the condemnable attack on Republic Media Network's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami and his wife and Republic TV Editor Samyabrata Ray Goswami, BJP leader Ram Kadam sought the reason for the delay in filing an FIR in the incident.
Ram Kadam asked the Maharashtra Government if they were under 'pressure' by Congress President Sonia Gandhi, questioning them for their lack of response even after 10 hours of the shocking incident.
10 hours past the incident #ArnabAttacked Why is filing the FIR taking so long ? If this is what a journalist has to face what is going to happen to the common people ? @OfficeofUT @AnilDeshmukhNCP @AjitPawarSpeaks #SupportArnabGoswami #IndiaWithArnav
