Though Arnab Goswami is no stranger to delivering ‘sensational’ statements while conducting debates on his show, his latest announcement has come as a bit of a shock.
Because, while discussing the Palghar lynchings live on air, Arnab Goswami resigned from the Editors Guild of India.
Arnab Goswami resigns from the Editors Guild of India live on air.

Well done #ArnabGoswami 🙌@republic @Republic_Bharat @aishkapoor pic.twitter.com/n4CNVexI8G
In his announcement, he stated that his decision to resign comes from the Guild’s silence on pertinent issues related to Covid-19:
The Editors Guild of India has become a self-serving organisation, and I hereby, on live television, resign. I resign from the Editors of Guild of India for its absolute compromise on editorial ethics, for being an organisation that is only operating in self-interest. It (the Guild) is nothing but a group of has-beens.
People took to Twitter to comment on his resignation:

Credibility of Editors Guild of India jumps to new record highs..
#ArnabGoswami never deserved any place in the Editor’s Guild, he’s stopped being a journalist a very long time ago. He of zero credibility talking of credibility is comical. He’s a propaganda mouth piece. pic.twitter.com/Nu7phzAz1F

Glad to know that Mr. Goswami resigned frm EditorsGuildofIndia. A person who isn’t a journalist anymore should better go off track and feel free to become spokesperson of a political party. Mr. Goswami is a ‘Judge’ disguising as a ‘journalist’.#EditorsGuild #Arnab #ArnabGoswami

Should he have accepted the guilt earlier and realised he’s not a journalist? @republic#EditorsGuild https://t.co/uJl0yPuHdj
As of now the Editors Guild of India has not stated anything on Goswami’s resignation.
