Kunal Kamra did nothing wrong. Arnab Goswami's reportage is highly toxic, highly divisive and has endangered lives of Muslims as well as dissident students. His reporters have, under explicit orders, gone into sensitive situations to incite chaos. (1/n)
He has constantly called JNU and other universities as "dens of anti-nationals", asked dissident Muslims and Dalits to "go to Pakistan" and repeatedly questioned the loyalty of non-BJP politicians towards the country (2/n)
His "debates" were not actual debates but pantomimes, wherein a group of establishment panelists gang up and demonize certain people, who have faced death threats, rape threats and in one instance, attempt to murder (Umar Khalid) (3/n)
This daily drumming up of rage and anger has built the support system under which Muslims have been lynched, universities attacked and govt critics threatened with targeted campaigns. Arnab is complicit in each and every instance of violence against Muslims. (4/n)
If anything, Kunal Kamra's two minute heckling is too less. He should be confronted with the consequences of his actions. He should be reminded that he has blood on his hands. That he will be remembered as an enabler of violence.
That history of journalism will SPIT on him.(Fin)
