The sudden resignation of senior journalist and Editor-in-Chief of Times Now television channel Arnab Goswami, whose high-pitched prime time show 'News Hour' was the most popular and controversial programme in the history of the Indian television, has come as a big surprise to many.
Arnab, who had announced his resignation at an editorial meeting on Tuesday, declared that he was going to start a new venture in television and digital media that would give BBC and CNN a run for their money.
His resignation was a sensation in the social media that evoked mixed reactions. Here are some of the tweets:
1. “Arnab Goswami 'resigns' from Times Now. To start his own venture.
After being one unofficially. He will now officially become S.C. Judge.”
2. “Arnab Goswami resigns!
* Naheeeen !
* Breaks bangles
* Wipes sindoor off his forehead
* Blows off diya..”
3. Arnab Goswami quits from Times Now.
The channel thus loses a lot of its value AND ALL ITS VOLUME.
