BENGALURU: Two BJP workers arrested for shouting pro-Pakistan slogans. The relevant incident took place in Karnataka in December 2022. BJP workers shouted pro-Pak slogans at a function in Mandya.
After the video of the incident went viral, lawyer Kannambadi Kumar approached the court with a complaint. Ravi from Danayakapura and Shivakumar Aradhya from Mandya were arrested.
The police took action one and a half years after the incident. However, there is also criticism that this case is a political vendetta in the context of the controversial pro-Pak slogan case involving Congress workers.
Meanwhile, Ravi and Aaradhya said that they are staunch BJP-RSS workers and will not shout Pakistan Zindabad even if they die. They said that only Bharat Mata Ki Jai will be raised. The accused also said that when the slogan in Hindi was shouted, "Zindabad" was shouted instead of 'Murdabad' due to confusion.
