MUMBAI: Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Friday has demanded to hold serious inquiry into the leaked Whatsapp chats of controversial Indian journalist and Republic TV’s Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami.
Tharoor said, “The leaked WhatsApp chats reveal three reprehensible things requiring serious inquiry: leaking of military secrets to a TV channel for its commercial purposes; a “nationalist” gloating over the death of 40 soldiers as an “attack we have won like crazy”, and a fraudulent manipulation of TRPs.”
“But if the Government won t conduct such an inquiry (& we all expect it won t, given the evidence of its complicity in the betrayals revealed), who will?” he asked.
The reaction came after leaked chats of Goswami revealed that Pulwama attack was a false flag operation, in which India killed its own troops and tried to pin the blame on Pakistan to gain sympathy, and in turn, votes, for the 2019 elections.
