“Every individual who calls out the BJP’s racism, hatred, and falsehoods poses a danger to them. Arresting one voice of truth would result in the emergence of 1,000 more, “He tweeted.
Using the hashtag “#DaroMat,” the former head of Congress said, “truth always wins over oppression.”
Jairam Ramesh, general secretary of the Congress, also offered the detained journalist his support.
“The Vishguru has responded with a fury befitting of him, and Altnews & @zoo bear has been in the forefront of discrediting his false claims. According to the Union Home Minister, the Delhi Police has long since abandoned all pretences to professionalism and independence “Tweeted.
Manickam Tagore, the whip for the Congress in the Lok Sabha, urged the journalist’s immediate release.
In our post-truth political atmosphere, which is replete with misinformation and falsehoods, India’s few fact-checking services, notably @AltNews, offer a vital function, he said.
“They disprove lies, whomever is spreading them. Now, Co-founder has been taken into custody by Shah’s Delhi police. The DelhiPolice made a mistake by arresting @zoo bear. He has to be freed right now “Tweeted he.
