Senior journalist Rajdeep Sardesai today called out his former colleague and Republic TV라이브 바카라 co-founder and Managing Director Arnab Goswami over his claim that his car had been attacked in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, during the 2002 riots.

The video of Goswami라이브 바카라 speech that Sardesai, currently a consulting editor at India Today TV (and formerly at NDTV with Goswami), has used to rip him apart on Twitter is an old one. The anecdote being told by Goswami though, is straight out of Sardesai라이브 바카라 book written in the aftermath of the 2014 general elections.

Fekugiri has its limits, but seeing this, I feel sorry for my profession,” said Sardesai on Twitter.

Here is the old video of Goswami speaking about the incident, purportedly while he was in Assam:

According to Goswami라이브 바카라 account of the incident, the attack on his Ambassador car took place in Ahmedabad, about ‘50 metres’ from then Gujarat CM Narendra Modi라이브 바카라 residence. “There are people who are breaking the windows with trishuls. It라이브 바카라 almost as if there were trishuls all around.” Narrating the incident, Goswami says that “when people talk of secularism, I have seen hate up-close”. He says that the mob asked them their religion and his driver, who was part of the convoy, did not have a press card and was scared.

Sardesai has referred to the incident in his book while speaking of his time reporting from Gujarat during the riots close to fifteen years ago.

Sardesai라이브 바카라 former colleagues from his then employer바카라 웹사이트NDTV바카라 웹사이트also came out in support.
