Barkha Dutt, you are not a terror sympathiser

Times Now Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami opened a can of worms yesterday. He did not name anyone, but he made his target clear. He was on the aggressive, attacking “pseudo-liberals”, some of whom are within the media. He attacked those “who have been trying to echo the Pakistani line, in the guise of backing Kashmiris”, those “who are using the killing of a terrorist, trying to project Burhan Wani, as an innocent son of an headmaster”, those “who give away operational details, of the movement, the logistical details of the armed forces when they are taking on terrorists”, those “who backed those who chanted Bharat ki Barbaadi in JNU”.

Arnab did not name anyone, but Barkha Dutt, you made it clear that all fo the above applied to you, by reacting the way you did. Not only did your reaction make it clear, that he was targetting you, but on the one hand, you claimed that “you dont give a toss for his opinion” and on the other hand, wrote a lengthy Facebook post, and re-tweeted news stories covering that post through-out the day. Clearly, Barkha, you did give a toss and were deeply affected by Arnab’s attack.

You cry that Arnab has asked for a “gag” on some sections of the media, but all we could see is Arnab asking against people who break laws. Is that a crime?

You bask in the glory of your Facebook post having reached 1 million plus reach, but you fail to answer or acknowledge the comments on your Facebook post, which are from ordinary Indians, not from nameless, faceless trolls. These are the top comments on your post Barkha, and it is time for you to introspect why such comments have so much support from the unwashed masses:


Top Comments on Barkha’s post



Barkha, you are not a terror sympathiser. You are someone whom terrorists like Hafeez Sayeed sympathise with. Why do you ask? Is it because both of you somehow seem to argue for the same causes, especially when it comes to Kashmir?

You are not an ISI agent. ISI collects information for their own country. You leak hostage locations during 26/11. You leak information for another country! You maintain a stoic silence for years, and then claim “it was a mistake” and try to blame the entire media for committing the same mistake and also put the onus on the Government for not warning you!


You are not a Pro Pakistan dove. You are a dove that will sell every domestic Jihadi as a victim. And blame the victim for his fate. A wanted terrorist of a known terror outfit is the “son of a headmaster” for you. Just look at how you blamed Kashmiri Pandit’s for the genocide. Even Pakistan has a concept of good Taliban & bad Taliban. But for you, every domestic Jihadi is a good Taliban, because in your book he is a victim wronged by us. It’s not Arnab’s comments that have stung you. It’s the endorsement from Hafiz Saeed. You are in the good books of the bad people!

I just wonder if you were reporting about Direct Action day by Jinnah in 1946. How would u have done it:

“What provoked a peaceful, patriot like Jinnah into coming up with two nation theory? Some say it was Gandhi who provoked Jinnah into announcing direct action day by Non-Violence & Fasting. Or was it the Kashmiri Pandit (Nehru) who monopolised all posts leaving Jinnah with no option but the Partition?”

I wonder how would u have covered Sardar Patel’s efforts of unifying India?:

“Why is this Xenophobic, Hyper-nationalistic Sardar Patel sending tanks into Nizam’s Hyderabad? Isn’t Patriotism the last refuge of a scoundrel? Is it not an Indian occupation of Hyderabad? Won’t this create many more Jinnah’s? Won’t this alienate the future generations?”

Be ashamed of the troughs you have fallen to in search of those crests Barkha! I hope I will not be another Chaitanya Kunte for expressing my rage.

respected sir can u please elaborate which pakistani courts military or civil because u use military courts(talk about human rights) to trial u r own terrorists and dont have faith in civil ones

He is not .terrorist in Pakistan so he can be tried in a civil court not .military one which is for select few arrested terrorist to speed up the process and even their judgements were reversed by Supreme court

To jail him you need to provide evidence in court it unconstitutional to arrest someone based on mere assumptions

Thank god she didn't said "I am ashamed to be from same COUNTRY as him...

Only by morons.

I am sorry but that's really funny. Anyone in India who speaks the truth is called an ISI agent. You can NOT deny how heinously Indian army is killing Kashmiris. And if she is not putting her hands on her eyes like the majority of Indians and Indian media and believing everything is OK. But speaking what she's seeing. Why would you call such person an agent?

Thank god she didn't said "I am ashamed to be from same COUNTRY as him...

But you never know.

Looking at the bile at Goswamy & support for Burkha from our esteemed neighbours, it's pretty obvious who the traitor is and who is the patriot.

@Joe Shearer An example.

Arnab Goswami is a loudmouth. But what I found funny was he never named Barkha Dutt for her to take offence. Barkha Dutt in my view has no credibility after the radia tapes.... She is in stern opposition to Modi and his government, and in reciprocity the government has revoked all of NDTV's perks and privileges that they enjoyed under the UPA. NDTV took a position before the polls running hit pieces on Modi and BJP one after the other throughout 2013 right upto the elections.

The vendetta against the Modi government of Barkha Dutt goes quite deep, but cannot overlook the fact that she is also extremely smart, she will run a clean show with brilliant topics such as military families, social grievances, political issues, gender equality which she has done for a long time , and when the opportunity presents itself, she will slip in her tirades against the center off late. She was instrumental in providing platform to JNU leaders without representation from other sides... Before the country knew about Wani and company, it was Dutt's channel that claimed "Poster Boy of Kashmiri Jihad".

None of these antics bother me, She does have the right to dislike the center, she also has the right work for her political agendas by all means at her disposal, she has the right to promote her political philosophy, what does pisses me off is her facade that potrays she doesn't have an agenda and she is unbiased, that is insulting the intelligence of the viewer.

ashamed she belong's from my country

More mature or head in the sand type? Or those who dont want to see how it is, rather how they want it to be?

Your continuous blabbering about lower middle class gives a notion of how you look down upon them and see yourself having some "class" for " only you know " reasons. However the fact is lower middle class is connected to the ground while so called "class" people live their life as frog of the well.

"I know she is compromised but I still listen to her for political analysis and she is best". What that hell mean? Class?

@adil_minhas you are correct. I belong to upper class family with lower middle class extended one. My work association with biggest global firms gives me a great connection to highest educated class of society and I can tell you, all love Arnab for the content he brings on but we don't appreciate his way of conducting debate.

I come from lower middle class and yes I look down upon my former self... deal with it.
yeah you dont appreciate the way he conducts debate, but still watch it? do you watch it to know what arnab thinks, how arnab can change everything... arnab.. arnab.. arnab.. or anything that guests want to say..
I dont care what personal views barkha holds, as long as she gives ample time to her guests and creates a condition to have healthy debate... if I want to watch 'hard talk' type grilling I will watch devil's advocate... not 12 people in split screen screaming at each other...

In well moderated debate..many times I come out sympathizing with other side.. for example I watched a debate on alcohol ban in bihar/TN, now I am against it, but the bihari JD(U) guy made quite good argument... it did not change my view but I am no more 100 percent sure. This happened even though anchor was quite clearly anti-prohibition. I dont care about anchors view and am happy that he gave chance to both sides.

I must not lose my temper even with the mentally challenged.

Now I posted that Barkha Dutt was called an ISI Agent only by morons. You posted back a totally incomprehensible post. What is your point? That those who call her an ISI Agent are NOT morons?

And what did you find funny about my remark?

@Joe Shearer An example.

Of what? Do you mind including your references in your posts?
