It recordsdata complaints with Mumbai Police Commissioner and police stations throughout metropolis
Mumbai Congress on Wednesday filed complaints with Mumbai’s Commissioner of Police and in any respect the police stations inside the metropolis demanding motion towards Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami under the Official Secrets Act.
In a memorandum submitted to Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh, the Congress highlighted the WhatsApp chats which are a part of the chargesheet filed within the alleged TRP rip-off case between Mr. Goswami and former CEO of BARC Partho Dasgupta. “The chats reveal how Arnab Goswami and his friends might have accessed state secrets through their network of corruption in the Central government, thereby compromising India’s security and national interests. It is clear that individuals within PM Narendra Modi’s government not only gave Mr. Goswami unprecedented access to the Cabinet, but also helped him cheat the public exchequer of crores of rupees,” mentioned the letter.
Pointing out that no man in uniform might leak delicate particulars of Balakot air strike, the Congress mentioned the knowledge was obtainable solely with three or 4 Cabinet Ministers and bureaucrats and the National Security Advisor. “To leak such information is an act of treason and leaking of official secrets is a criminal act.” The letter claimed that the chats present how Mr. Goswami was rejoicing over Republic TV’s viewership when 40 CRPF jawans had been martyred in Pulwama.
It mentioned the chats indicated how former Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, directed that complaints from Doordarshan towards Republic TV be stored apart.
The letter submitted to Mr. Singh by the Mumbai Congress president Bhai Jagtap and govt president Charan Singh Sapra demanded motion towards Mr. Goswami and officers inside the PM’s Office and NSA who leaked secret info under the Official Secrets Act, 1923; National Security Act, 1980 and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), 1967.
