Anurag Thakur Questions Congress Protection of Pro-Pakistan Slogan Raisers in Karnataka

Union Minister Anurag Thakur criticized the Congress party for protecting individuals who raised pro-Pakistan slogans on the Karnataka assembly premises. The arrest of three persons involved in the incident was made after forensic analysis confirmed the authenticity of the video footage.

Union Minister Anurag Thakur launched a scathing attack on the Congress party on Monday, demanding an explanation for their protection of individuals who raised pro-Pakistan slogans on the premises of the Karnataka assembly following Syed Naseer Hussain's election to the Rajya Sabha. His remarks came in response to the arrest of three individuals by Karnataka Police for raising such slogans in the Vidhan Soudha premises on February 27.

Forensic Analysis Confirms Authenticity of Slogans

Thakur highlighted the forensic analysis conducted by a private forensic science laboratory, which confirmed the authenticity of the video footage capturing the incident. He questioned the Congress leadership's motive for shielding these individuals despite the irrefutable evidence.

Thakur's Pointed Questions to Congress

Thakur posed a series of pointed questions to the Congress party, expressing concern over their consistent protection of anti-national elements. He specifically called out Sonia Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, asking if they were providing cover for such individuals.

Congress' Initial Dismissal and BJP's Allegations

Thakur criticized the Congress party's initial dismissal of the BJP's assertion that pro-Pakistan slogans were raised after Hussain's victory in the Rajya Sabha election. He countered their claim by stating that the slogans of "Pakistan Zindabad" were indeed raised on the Karnataka assembly premises.

Thakur Accuses Congress of Anti-National Activities

Thakur leveled serious accusations against the Congress party, alleging that they engage in various anti-national activities, including questioning the bravery of the Indian Army, discussing the division of India based on North-South matters, and supporting those who raise pro-Pakistan slogans in sacred places like the assembly. He raised concerns about a potential Congress conspiracy to partition India once again.

BJP's Commitment to National Unity and Integrity

Thakur contrasted the Congress party's actions with the BJP's unwavering commitment to upholding the nation's unity and integrity under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He expressed bewilderment at the Congress' persistent alignment with anti-national elements.

Arrests Made Due to BJP's Pressure

Thakur asserted that the arrests of individuals raising pro-Pakistan slogans were only made due to the BJP's pressure to release the forensic report. He emphasized the importance of taking strict action against such anti-national elements.

Union Minister Anurag Thakur's strong criticism of the Congress party over the pro-Pakistan slogans incident in the Karnataka assembly highlights the ongoing political tensions and debates surrounding national unity and integrity in India. The incident has sparked a war of words between the BJP and the Congress, with both parties trading accusations and demanding accountability.
