The demands for arrest of Arnab Goswami comes after Assam police, on Saturday, had arrested 14 people for alleged pro-Taliban posts on social networking site Facebook. 

The 14 people have been charged under the anti-terror law – Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).  

They have also been charged under various IPC sections for criminal conspiracy and hurting religious feelings.
