Bengaluru riots: the pattern was the same, only here the mask of the p — Arnab Goswami

"For a journalist to be free he has to run and own and manage a news organization."

"Why would I leave it. Because I was not comfortable. Because I realized the time has come where I could not take instructions... I could no longer be free... I was not absolutely free."

"Their subjective opinion... is based on bias, prejudice, jealousy and hatred... They are hypocrites all of them... they cant even look at me in the eye."

"Congress leaders have been intimidating me and threatening me with physical violence. I am deeply grateful that the Supreme Court has noted the violence against me and my wife."

"These people formed cabals.. When I was fighting corruption you all went to the Information and Broadcasting minister... [he told me] in the meeting the biggest point of conversation is you because the minister is shouting at us why the media is putting pressure on us.. [he told] it is the boy in Mumbai who is doing all of this, shall we Mr Minister bring you his head on a plate? ... these are the spineless editors of Lutyens whose problem is now that more people are watching Republic. Well they will because all of you cheated and lied to the people of India for far too long!"

"Those in the free press who don’t stand up today in support of Arnab, you are now tactically in support of fascism. You may not like him, you may not approve of him,you may despise his very existence but if you stay silent you support suppression. Who speaks if you are next ?"
