Pulwama Terrorist Attack on India was ‘big win’ Arnab says in alleged leaked Whatsapp chats
Republic TV chief Arnab Goswami’s leaked chats have taken social media by storm, and users have been busy digging up the leaked chats ever since.
One of the major revelations from the leaked chats seems to be Arnab’s knowledge about Balakot Air Strikes even before it was carried out. In a reported leaked chat of WhatsApp Arnab has sent a message to Partho Dasgupta, former CEO of Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) who is an accused in the TRP scam case.
According to the leaked chats, Arnab on 23 February 2019, told Dasgupta that “Something big will happen”. When Dasgupta asked if it was something about “Dawood” Arnab replied, “No sir Pakistan. Something major will be done this time”. When Dasgupta further enquired if it was about “strike or bigger” Arnab replied “Bigger than a normal strike. And also at the same time something major on Kashmir. On Pakistan the government is confident of striking in a way that people will be elated. Exact words used.”
Another purported leaked chat of Arnab shows him claiming that they have “won like crazy” after the Pulwama Terror Attack that killed 40 soldiers of the Indian Army.

Arnab knew about the Balakot Air Strikes three days before it happened!
He and his friend are chatting that this will "sweep the polls". Who told him?
This is a clear criminal offence under OFFICIAL SECRETS ACT
Arnab must be immediately ARRESTED for this & tried for TREASON.

On the other hand, after learning about these incidents, a group of netizens demands criminal action against Republic TV founder Arnab Goswami on Social Media with #ArnabGate.
Here are some of the posts of netizens, how they got angry and criticize Arnab Goswami:
Arnab knew about Pulwama. Arnab knew about Balakot. Is this even a Govt? Or just a racket. Where Modi along with his henchman are running covert operations & exploiting our soldiers' blood? SHAME! #ArnabGate

In New India, our national security is being compromised and reduced to TRPs! देश का गद्दार कौन? #ArnabGate

Among all the stuff in #ArnabGate we have seen so far this is the most damning. How could national security be compromised like this? #BalakotAirStrike #ArnabGoswami #arnab pic.twitter.com/qxx0k9sB4o
