The court decorum and Arnab Goswami are mandatory through an editor-in – chief of the Republic T.V. media channel. That’s no exception. The manner in which he acted as if he were above the law or first among equals; the right enjoyed only by the head of a state; a person of the stature of Arnab Goswami seems a little too eccentric and unexpected. The editor-in – chief seems to have overlooked, or he is pretending to be an anarchist, the difference between a public dais and a courtroom. It is very disappointing to see Arnab ‘s conduct, who is trying to use the arrest as a basis for attracting political mileage and creating a social order disruption. There has been enough poison spread throughout and, sadly, as a state that has always been progressive, Maharashtra is being disrupted and the state governments have been very professional in their approach to investors and industrialists.
The state capital of Mumbai happens to be the country’s commercial capital, and disrupting peace in such a state does not in any way demonstrate prudence and understanding.
However, while the action taken by the government of the state and the police department was very stern, that was maybe the need for the hour. It was very shameful how the entire state government, which also includes the police force, was being attacked and verbal venom was hurled at the Mumbai police commissioner. The required action against the other trouble / mischief mongers who have also been disrupting the peace within the state must now be taken. If not exceptional, the performance of the Uddhav Thackeray government has been quite satisfactory, although there is scope for more changes for which they have another four years remaining, so they can strengthen their function as a state government if they are permitted to build unwarranted obstacles and not disrupted by them.
The pain faced by the state unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party is that, while they had secured the largest number of seats, they were unable to form the state government after the legislative assembly elections. Of course, this is a matter of discussion and debate as to why the Bharatiya Janata Party could not carry forward with the alliance they had with the Shiv Sena and had to part ways. What needs to be acknowledged is that the Bharatiya Janata Party was unable to prove its majority on the floor of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, which the Shiv Sena was able to prove with the support of the Indian National Congress and National Congress Party. There are reasons behind the help offered by the Indian National Congress and National Congress Party to the Shiv Sena that are established facts that can be understood by any sensible individual.
This electoral bribery, handled along with the Indian National Congress and National Congress Party by the Shiv Sena Maha Aghadi alliance, was the heavy political punch delivered on the jaw of the Bharatiya Janata Party with which they were unable to come to terms. In this counterattack, Arnab Goswami, Kangana Ranaut, Suman Pandey, Mamta Kale and a few others were foot soldiers.
Particularly in the Indian ethos, where freedom was often gained on the basis of the so-called ‘golden principle’ of ‘Ahimsa’ and passive resistance, anarchy and agitations carried out seem very democratic. In India ‘s democracy, this has now become the order of the day, although it may not be justified on every occasion. In this regard, Chakravarthy Rajagopalachari [Rajaji] expressed his anxiety, which may have gone unnoticed during the days of the freedom struggle, but the realisation of the desired after-effects comes with the passage of time. In the district court of Alibaug, where the district magistrate had to warn him to respect the integrity of the institution, Arnab attempted to interrupt the decorum.
Questions mooted with regard to the reopening of the suicide case of Anvay Naik and his mother Kumud Naik are not based on the fact that the Supreme Court of India has issued a number of rulings pursuant to Section 173(8) CrPC which permit the reopening of such cases, subject to the receipt of more appropriate and tangible evidence for which it is not necessary to seek the consent of any court. The police department in the state is therefore justified in its action taken, for which the hullaballoo does not seem to be quite fair or mature. The police department as an agency is well acquainted with the legal principles laid down by the Indian Penal Code [IPC], the Criminal Procedural Code [CrPC] and the Indian Constitution, as the action taken was definitely not spontaneous or sporadic.
The arrest of Arnab Goswami has resulted in the entire chain of events that have taken place since the sceptical death of Sushant Singh Rajput, followed by the assault on Bollywood celebrities and the role of drugs in the entertainment industry and the snarls and groans of modern India’s neo-social reformers, culminating in disrupting the social balance in the state of Maharashtra. He seems to have overlooked the decorum that the court wants to uphold and his lectures on organisational behaviour need to be updated. People who followed Arnab like a pack of wolves and hyenas should avoid their howls and vicious laughter now, because they were unable to laugh the last time.
