Times Now editor Arnab Goswami and Kashmiri separatist leader Yasin Malik abused each other during a NewsHour show on Kashmiri Pandits on Monday night.
Arnab Goswami had assembled a panel to debate the return of Kashmiri Pandits to their homeland. He wanted to ask Yasin Malik about his opposition to setting up separate colonies for them.
When Yasin Malik appeared on screen, Arnab Goswami set the tone for aggression, by inviting Rashneek Kher, a shrill Kashmiri pandit to ask questions.
Rashneek Kher immediately set the mercury soaring by asking Arnab Goswami why he had brought in Yasin Malik, a murderer, for the debate. He called Yasin Malik a terrorist and accused him of ethnic cleansing.
He was endorsed by Arnab Goswami through a lengthy monologue in which he said he was giving a piece of his mind to Yasin Malik as he hated his anti-India stance. He also described Yasin Malik as a parasite on Indian system.
Then it was Yasin Malik's turn and he said Arnab Goswami was 'nothing' and a 'psychopath'.
Arnab Goswami, at another point of the debate, told Yasin Malik that he had lost his mind and asked him not to raise his voice as it was was not Hafiz Saeed's home.

Yasin Malik responded saying Arnab Goswami was only looking for rating and needed psychiatric therapy.
