Dutt reacted strongly to the Newshour debate of July 26, where Goswami went after journalists, calling them ‘pro Pakistan doves’ and   allegedly supported ban on media.

In the debate about the outrage against the role of armed forces in Kashmir recently, Goswami took an ultra nationalistic stand. The hashtag for the show was #ProPakDovesSilent.

Taking to the popular social media site, Dutt questioned Goswami’s journalism skills and said that she was ” ashamed to be from same industry as him”. Incidentally, Dutt and Goswami are former colleagues.
