BJP leader Kirit Somaiya on Thursday alleged that Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray-led government illegally arrested Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami and said that the police reopened the case in which the journalist was held without the court's permission.
"Yesterday V met SP Raigadh at Alibaug. It became clear that Police Reopen Case on 15 Oct without Court Permission, Without any new important informations/proof, without asking any clarification from #ArnabGoswami. Thackeray Sarkar Illegally arrested him," Somaiya tweeted.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah and several Union Ministers have also condemned the arrest of Goswami.
