Woman booked for pro-Pak slogan at Owaisi meeting

Bengaluru: Leaving the organisers of an event to protest against the CAA, NRC and NRP here red-faced, a young woman on Thursday raised “Pakistan Zindabad” slogan in the presence of AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, who denounced her action and asserted “we are for India”.

The woman, identified as Amulya, asked people to shout with her “Pakistan Zindabad” after the organisers of the event under the banner of “Save Constitution” invited her to address the gathering soon after Owaisi came on the stage. Soon Owaisi rushed to snatch the mike from her hands and was joined by others who tried to remove her from the stage. But the woman was adamant and raised the slogan again



repeatedly.

Later, the police stepped in and removed her from the dais. Owaisi then addressed the gathering, saying he did not agree with the woman. He said, “Neither me nor my party has any link with her. We denounce her. The organisers should not have invited her here.”

“If I knew this, I would not have come here. We are for India and we no way support our enemy nation Pakistan. Our entire drive is to save India,” the AIMIM MP said. Police said that a case has been registered under Section 124A (Offence of sedition) of the Indian Penal Code against Amulya. The police will first interrogate her and then she will be produced before a court, officials said.
