Kangana Ranaut calls for Arnab Goswami's release, attacks Maharashtra govt

Kangana Ranaut has demaded the release of journalist Arnab Goswami who is in judicial custody in a 2018 abetment to suicide case.

On Monday afternoon, Kangana tweeted, “Ye sattaon ke thekedaar gareebon ka haq maar ke jo baithe hai, bade vichar hain ye kismet ke maare hamse poochte hai ye iraade hamare, ham ko iss ladai se kya haasil hoga tanashahon, ek ghar banaya tha wo bhi tudwa kar baithe hain #WeWantArnabBack (These contractors of power who have defrauded the poor question our intentions, what will we get out of fighting the despots, I had one house and even that has been destroyed).”

Republic TV cheif Arnab Goswami and two others - Feroze Shaikh and Nitish Sarda - were arrested by Alibaug Police in a case related to the 2018 suicide of architect-interior designer Anvay Naik and his mother over alleged non-payment of dues by companies of the accused.

On Monday, the Bombay High Court had rejected Goswami's Interim Bail. Now, the journalist have approached the Supreme Court challenging the order.

Over the last few months, Kangana has supported Arnab from the front. Earlier, in a video shared on Twitter, she had said, “I want to ask the Maharashtra government that today, you went inside Arnab Goswami’s house, beat him, pulled him by his hair, assaulted him. How many houses will you break? How many throats will you choke, how many people’s hair will your pull and how many voices will you silence? Sonia Sena, how many mouths will you gag? These voices will keep growing. Before us, so many martyrs’ throats were slit, they were hanged for their right to free speech. No matter, you will silence, many others will rise.”
