Trying to silence the press in name of "nationalism" is nothing but censorship Journalists must question ALL politicians.Cong, BJP, TMC etc.
Senior Journalist Sagarika Ghose had this to say: Soon enough, twitter was abuzz with reactions, with a few fellow journalists coming out in support of Barkha’s outburst.
#Arnab goswami barkha dutt how to#
WATCH: Arnab's take on #ProPakDovesSilent īarkha very bluntly got back to this “ So he drones on and on about Pro Pakistan Doves without one word on the JK alliance agreement that commits the BJP and PDP to talks with Pakistan and Hurriyat and is silent on Modi’s own Pakistan outreach- neither of which I object to- but since Arnab Goswami measures patriotism by such views why is he so silent on the government? Chamchagiri?”Īlso read: How to handle cyber sexism? Stand up to it! That’s the man behind the “nation wants to know.” The Times Now Editor-in-Chief demanded strict action against “pseudo-secular and pro-Pakistan” journalists, which elicited a strong reaction from Barkha Dutt. The 43 year old Dutt has always been fearless, you do remember her reporting from the frontlines during the Kargil war? Well, this time Dutt has taken on ex-colleague and host of one of the most watched prime-time shows on news television, Arnab Goswami. Rajdeep Sardesai’s stance, therefore, has ultimately failed to create the balance he seeks.We all know Barkha Dutt never minces words when expressing an opinion, whether it’s on national television or on her social media handle.
Vocal support for her could have gone a long way in silencing the trolls, and his ‘neutrality’ could be viewed as complicity in the unfair attacks she has been subjected to. Meanwhile, Barkha Dutt has been viciously targeted on social media, even more so because she is a woman who doesn’t parrot every thought of the upper-caste, right-wing Hindu male. He has tried to obfuscate his true position with arguments about neutrality, and claims to have done so to avoid ‘public criticism.’ Nor does he dismiss her haters who accuse her of being a ‘Pakistani’. Rajdeep has successfully convinced people that he is a neutral voice in this fiasco, and they won’t scratch beneath that surface.īut given that people are literally being charged by police and physically attacked over perceived ‘anti-nationalism’, it is surprising that he hasn’t come out in vocal support of Barkha Dutt – even though his stance puts him squarely on her side.
