Journalist Arnab Goswami, on Wednesday, threatened to sue the Congress party, accusing them of fabricating facts against him and his network.

In a press release, Goswami said, “I have decided to sue the Congress party, take strong legal action against their lies, and expose them in the courts of law. People of India: Join hands with Republic as we fight this political conspiracy with all our strength. The truth is on our side.”

He said, “The Congress party has uttered a series of absolute falsehoods, concocted lies, fabricated facts, unimaginable twisting of statements,” adding that he would not take this lying down.

Goswami has been recently in news after transcripts of his WhatsApp chat with former BARC CEO Partho Dasgupta was leaked.

PTI quoted Congress leader A K Antony referring to the leaked chats and saying, “Leaking of official secret of military operations is a national security matter and is treason. Whoever is party to this leakage must be punished and those involved deserve no mercy.”

Goswami said, “Their claim that I have compromised national security is hogwash and heart of heart even their top leaders know it. The problem with the Congress party is that they cannot stand a nationalist channel with a nationalist editor-in-chief.”

He added, “They think that they can browbeat me by threatening me with a litany of legal cases, interrogations, false charges, along with their cohorts in the media.”

“I am filing a criminal complaint against every Congress leader who has uttered lies against me. Their statement that classified documents were shared is a falsehood.”
