Amid Jyotiraditya Scindia quitting the Congress to join the BJP, senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh took to Twitter to praise British comedian John Oliver for his take down of Arnab Goswamy.
"Must watch this. Hats off to you Mr Oliver. You have taken Arnab's "Pants off". Brilliant!!" he tweeted on Wednesday.
Finding out that he had become the subject of Arnab Goswamiās diatribe, Oliver called Arnab Goswami the 'Tucker Carlson of India' and went on to mock his style.
Earlier, comedian Kunal Kamra had tweeted a Free Press journal article where a Twitter user had termed Oliver the 'Kamra of the West'.
Earlier, noting that his show had upset āsome diehard Modi supportersā, John Oliver went on to observe that Arnab Goswami had called him āa third-rate TV hostā, ānot even smart enough to be a satiristā and a man who 'embarrassed 'himself.
Reacting Oliver said: "Iāll give you ignoramus. Iāll even give you third-rate TV host, my researchers assure me thatās an actual compliment. But I embarrassed myself? Who the f*** do you think youāre talking to? I wear HBOās money to purchase and wear jeans designed to give me a sweet peach on televisionā¦ I am beyond shame.ā He also goes on to joke about his adolescent dorky pictures.
