A worker belonging to India\u2019s governing Bharatiya Janata Party has been arrested for allegedly chanting \u201cPakistan Zindabad\u201d during a 2022 protest, Indian media reported.<\/p>\n

Danayakapura Ravi, 34, was arrested in Karnataka on March 4 in connection with a first information report (FIR) registered by the Mandya West Police following a recent complaint by a Congress worker Kannambadi Kumar on the 2022 protest, according to a report<\/a> published by the Hindustan Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The report said the BJP protest was organised at Mandya\u2019s Sanjay Circle on December 22, 2022, over former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari\u2019s remarks<\/a> against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.<\/p>\n

It quoted the police as saying that the case against Ravi was registered after uproar over some Congress workers raising \u201cPakistan Zindabad\u201d slogans while celebrating the victory of Congress member Syed Naseer Hussain in the Rajya Sabha elections on February 27.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn Monday, the Bengaluru police said three people were arrested for raising the slogans,\u201d Hindustan Times<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) report, circumstantial evidence, witness statements and available proof, three persons have been arrested,\u201d it quoted a police statement as saying.<\/p>\n

The report added that Ravi would be produced before the local court and efforts were being made to arrest other suspects, adding that the FIR was registered under sections 153B (statements threatening national integrity) and 505 (statements causing public mischief).<\/p>\n

Commenting on the arrest, BJP\u2019s Manya district unit president Indresh N S claimed that the arrest was a clear case of political vendetta.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe incident took place more than one-and-a-half-years ago and the police have registered a case now and arrested him. Ravi is a farmer and knows only Kannada. While raising slogans, he got confused and raised Zindabad for Pakistan. Why would he raise pro-Pakistan slogans when we were protesting against Pakistan?\u201d The Indian Express<\/em> quoted<\/a> Indresh as saying.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe moment the BJP questioned Congress\u2019s commitment over the pro-Pakistan slogans that were raised in the Vidhana Soudha, they attacked the BJP workers for no reason,\u201d the BJP leader added.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
