In my view there are 2 aspects to #ArnabGoswami's arrest. That is a terrible shame, opening a case that was long closed. The lutyens' media whosoever is gloating, will see karma visiting them too.
The 2nd point what BJP has done. Lots of handles are questioning what is GoI doing. @Shefalivaidya saying "But @BJP4Maharashtra unit is sleeping.". @KiritSomaiya from all accounts has been active on the ground. And am sure there are many who are doing that.
I also understand that there was protest earlier today at Mantralaya where people were picked up and arrested when they gathered. I don't know whether the protest actually happened or not.
Fact of the matter is, much as we don't like, what is the Central Government supposed to do and on what grounds is it supposed to intervene. We all know what is happening and all I would like to keep calm and trust Modi. @mayfair1958

A big officer came to stay in the housing society, who had just retired.
This elderly big retired officer, shocked and disturbed, walking in the Society park every evening, looking at others with contempt and not talking to anyone.
One day he sat near an elderly one in the evening for a chat and then started sitting continuously with him.
His conversation was always the same topic. “I was such a big officer that one can’t imagine and don't ask, Here I have come in compulsion, etc. etc.”
That elder used to listen to him peacefully.
One day when the “retired” officer showed some signs of inquisitiveness in his eyes and some curiosity, the elderly listener finally gave him the true wisdom.
A thread from a blog that I wrote in 2008, "Gujarat Elections And Victory For Mr. Modi"
Take a bow, Mr. Modi for, what I think, is a well deserved one and few eggs on the face of the pseudo secular journlaists (read CNN IBN and Times of India's Swaminathan A Iyer
and similar varieties). This blog is not about his victory in Gujarat - rather it is about why Congress Govt. should be sent packing. People living outside Gujarat will never understand the psyche of Gujju bhais and bens. Why Congress is such a bad proposition ?
Navjot Singh Sidhu once shared an anecdote of a one day international against West Indies in 1988. It was his third tournament and Sachin Tendulkar's second. @jaideepb
To give you a little context, it was a wet pitch and as you may know, the West Indies players were HUGE! @Vaidyvoice
Sidhu very desperately asked the then captain, Azharuddin to do him one favour and win the toss because batting on the wet pitch was going to be a huge challenge! @HKA_2017
