Shiv Sena compares BJP cry over Arnab’s arrest to Trump reaction

Taking a swipe at the BJP, the ruling Shiv Sena on Saturday likened the hue and cry over the arrest of television journalist Arnab Goswami with the reaction of Donald Trump to the outcome of the US Presidential elections.

An editorial in the Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ said the reaction of Trump who is on the verge of defeat amounted to belittling the post he was holding.

“Just like Trump’s actions that included spreading fake news and demanding that counting of votes be stopped and moving the court are against the law and prestige of America, BJP leaders in Maharashtra are protesting against the arrest of a suspected accused in an abetment to suicide case,” the Sena said without naming Goswami, editor-in-chief of Republic TV.
