Republic Won't Back Down

Arnab Goswami reacts on TMC leader attacking Republic Bangla in West Bengal during the coverage of ED's raid on Mamata Banerjee's minister. The incident happened when Republic TV Bangla was brutally attacked by TMC Councillor Sukumar Mondal and his aides during a live show outside Bengal Food Minister Rathin Ghosh’s residence in the north 24 Parganas district. The reporter identified as Saikat Pal along with VJ Raj Shekhar Das was reporting on the latest scam against the TMC government when the TMC councillor abused the team and even destroyed the camera. According to the information, the reporter was on duty, covering searches by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on 12 properties associated with West Bengal Food and Supplies Minister Rathin Ghosh. Several BJP leaders took cognizance of the incident and lashed out at the TMC government for attacking the media persons. This is not the first time when a reporter from Republic TV has been attacked. Earlier, in June 2022, a female reporter associated with Republic Bangla was manhandled.
