Ministers CT Ravi, Ashwath condemn Arnab Goswami’s arrest

BENGALURU: Taking a cue from central BJP leaders, including Union Ministers Amit Shah, Smriti Irani, Prakash Javdekar, Piyush Goyal among others, leaders from the Karnataka BJP unit joined the chorus to condemn the arrest of Republic TV Editor-In-Chief Arnab Goswami on Wednesday.

From BJP national general secretary C T Ravi to Deputy Chief Minister Dr C N Ashwath Narayana, party leaders in Karnataka took turns to lash out at the Maharashtra government and likened the action against the journalist, arrested in an abetment to suicide case, to the Emergency declared by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
