The BJP left no stone unturned while attacking the Raigad police for the arrest of TV anchor Arnab Goswami on Wednesday morning. While the saffron party's senior leaders condemned it as an "attack on freedom of the press," its youth wing held a protest march against Maha Vikas Aghadi's "blatant misuse of power."

The protest march by the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) took off from Fort, near the statue of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, and ended at the gates of Mantralaya. BJYM Mumbai President Tajinder Singh Tiwana, who led the march, told mid-day, "The MVA government is suppressing freedom of speech of the fourth pillar of democracy… This is an attack on constitutional rights. It has become a witch hunt now."
