The viral \u201cArnab v\/s Arnab\u201d video, where Arnab of Times Now<\/em> is seen shouting back at the Arnab of Republic TV<\/em> is more than a hilarious expos\u00e9 of the double standards of Arnab Goswami on the issue of beef ban. It is a template he has adopted while at Republic TV<\/em> to take a moral high ground on any issue. It is a template that deflects the attention away from the failures of the government and keeps up the pressure on dissenting voices.<\/p>\n

We will look at another equally shocking example of this hypocrisy, but first about the beef..<\/p>\n

The video made by Gaurav Pandhi of the Congress social media team exposed a shocking contrast in Arnab\u2019s approach while handling the topic of beef ban. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a thousand pictures. Watch it below:<\/p>\n

From shouting, \u201cIs eating beef a crime\u201d at Times Now<\/em>, Arnab took an absolutely contrasting stand while at Republic<\/em>. The question about \u201cBeef politics to stay relevant\u201d was not addressed to the government. It was addressed to the seculars.<\/p>\n

In the context of the slaughter of a calf by Congress workers in Kerala and the Beef fest organized to protest the virtual beef ban, Republic<\/em> attacked the opposition and the seculars, accusing them of making a political statement, instigating a religious divide on the basis of meat and pitting one community against the other. Instead of discussing the implications of the recent regulations on sale of cattle in livestock market, the channel managed to change the narrative to \u201cWhat is secular about eating the meat of a calf slaughtered in public view?<\/em>\u201d The raging row over beef ban was reduced to an attack on the opposition. The purpose was achieved. Attention was deflected from the government. A new agenda for public debate was set.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are the questions raised by Republic<\/em>, none of which are addressed to the government.<\/p>\n

\"republic<\/p>\n

What a contrast this is to the Arnab Goswami of Times Now<\/em> days<\/p>\n
