ISLAMABAD – Indian journalist and a supporter of the ruling BJP in India, Arnab Goswami, had prior knowledge of the Modi government’s plan to carry out a strike on Pakistani soil days before Indian Air Force bombed Pakistani soil, the Balakot intrusion on February 26, 2019.
The airstrike caused no loss of life in Pakistan as the Indian jets dropped their munitions on a hillside yet the airstrike near the town of Balakot brought the two nuclear armed neighbors on the brink of another war. The revelation of Goswami having prior knowledge about the strike comes from the Mumbai police’s ongoing investigation into manipulation of television ratings, reported Indian media outlets.
