Prime Time With Ravish Opposition Demands Probe Into TV Anchor's "Balakot Strike" WhatsApp Chat

Prime Time With Ravish Kumar - January 19, 2021: Amid outrage over leaked WhatsApp conversations of TV anchor Arnab Goswami, submitted by Mumbai Police to a court, the opposition has demanded an investigation into chats linked to the 2019 Balakot air strike in retaliation for the terror attack on a security convoy in Pulwama. The transcripts are a part of the Mumbai Police charge-sheet on the ratings scam, in which Arnab Goswami's Republic TV and two other channels are accused of gaming TRPs or Television Rating Points by manipulating households metred for viewership. The transcripts of chats between Arnab Goswami and Partho Dasgupta, the former CEO of ratings agency BARC (Broadcast Audience Research Council), have the TV anchor saying three days before the Balakot strike that "something big will happen". The chats reveal he said it would be "bigger than a normal strike" and "the government is confident of striking in a way that people will be elated." (Audio in Hindi)
