Twitter users had a field day yesterday when senior journalist and Consulting Editor of India Today Television Rajdeep Sardesai called out his former colleague and now Editor-in-Chief of Republic TV Arnab Goswami on a claim he could be seen making in a video that was shared widely on social media platforms.
The video first went viral a year ago. In it, Arnab Goswami could be seen narrating an experience he and his colleagues had while covering an area where riots were going on. Sardesai tweeted the link of the YouTube video titled “Arnab Goswami talking on Gujarat Riot (sic)”, and said, “Wow! My friend Arnab claims his car attacked next to CM Res in Guj riots!
Truth: he wasn’t covering Ahmedabad riots!!”
Soon after the tweet by Rajdeep, the entire internet let loose and started getting creative, making memes depicting Arnab Goswami’s presence in historic pictures throughout history.
