Terming the recent revelations of WhatsApp chats between Goswami and ex-BARC CEO Partho Dasgupta as "extremely serious and violative of the OSA, 1923", Balasaheb Thorat said these conversations amount to 'treason' for which the Republic TV chief must be immediately arrested.

The Maharashtra Congress on Friday held protests in all the districts and different cities demanding the arrest of Republic TV Editor in Chief Arnab Goswami for "treason" under the Official Secrets Act, 1923, party leaders said here.
At various places in the state, a large number of Congress activists protested by hurling stones and shoes at photos of Goswami, garlanding his portraits with chappals, and raising slogans against him and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
