Just few hours later, Goswami went on air to present his new prime time debate show on the new channel, Republic.
However, it seems the development of Friday afternoon involving the Congress spokesperson and the subsequent bad press had adversely affected the anchor to the extent that he ended up promoting a Times Now show.
While on air, Goswami said, “Those who are watching News Hour know that I called Zakir Naik terror…”
News Hour was the show Goswami presented on Times Now before being sacked from the channel.
The anchor had fallen out of favour with his previous employer. Such was the resentment among his bosses in Times Now that he wasn’t even allowed to present a mega episode of News Hour on his last day in office.

On Saturday, Goswami faced another embarrassing moment when a spokesperson from Samajwadi Party alleged that Republic TV had taken money from the BJP. He threatened Ghanshyam Tiwari not to ever cross the line.
