The attackers were accosted, and Goswami said the security personnel informed him they were Youth Congress workers sent specifically to assault him. “They had tailed me and they were given information by higher-ups to attack me. I want to tell you Sonia Gandhi, you are the biggest coward in the country right now. You have no guts to face me and I will hold you personally responsible. If anything were to happen to me, Sonia Gandhi will be responsible “

Actually, last night, in a prime time debate show on Palghar mob Lynching , Arnab had attacked Sonia Gandhi‘s silence . Arnab asked to Sonia ” if Maulvis or Padres would have been targeted the way Hindu saints were in ; would Italy’s Antonia Maino (Sonia Gandhi) remain silent then ?” He also added “if the victim had been Christian Padres , Sonia Gandhi, would had come from Rome (Italy) would not have remained close-mouthed on the issue’

It’s cowardly, shameful and an act of sponsored goondaism. I have been a victim of physical assault myself and I fully condemn violence. This was all started by a sociopath comedian in an aircraft.
Folks we must strongly condemn this violent attack on #ArnabGoswami and demand the prosecution of the assailants! Truly shocking; our well wishes and prayers with #ArnabGoswami Rule of law and protection of all citizens should prevail! pic.twitter.com/31Ldcjg9PT

Palghar Lynching : Shame to Humanity
On April 16, 2020, three people including 2 monks (Sadhus) and a driver lost their lives due to mob lynching. The three deceased have been identified as Sushil Giri Maharaj (35) , Maharaj Kalpavriksha Giri (70) and driver Nilesh Telgade(30), residents of the Kandivali suburb of Mumbai. The trio had apparently rented a car to attend a funeral. Despite the lockdown, the three managed to reached Palghar, 120 km from Mumbai, where they were stopped by a demonic mob baying for their blood. The crowd suspected that the three men belonged to the child thief gang and launched an aggressive assault against them. Later, when the police recovered the three men and took them to the hospital, they were pronounced dead on arrival.
महाराष्ट्र के पालघर का एक और विडीओ सामने आया है ..हृदयविदारक ..बेबस संत पुलिस के पीछे अपनी जान बचाने भाग रहा है और ऐसा साफ़ दिख रहा है की पुलिस न केवल अपनी ज़िम्मेदारी से पीछे हट रही है अपितु ऐसा लगता है की बेचारे संत को भीड़ में धकेला जा रहा है।
