BJP Lodges Complaint Against Rajya Sabha MP Naseer Hussain Over ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ Slogans

Posted on by Vividh Bharthi

Bengaluru: Late Tuesday night saw Karnataka BJP taking decisive action, filing a police complaint against Rajya Sabha MP Naseer Hussain. The complaint demands legal repercussions for the Congress leader after his supporters purportedly chanted ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans within the Assembly premises while celebrating his victory in the RS polls.

BJP MLC N. Ravikumar and MLA Doddangouda Patil spearheaded the complaint, submitted to the Vidhana Soudha police station against Hussain and his supporters.

The complaint narrates the incident stating, “Following the Rajya Sabha elections at the Vidhana Soudha on February 27, Naseer Hussain and his supporters gathered near the counting area. Subsequently, at approximately 7 p.m., the returning officer declared Naseer Hussain duly elected. However, during the celebration, Hussain’s supporters allegedly raised ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans, insinuating support for Pakistan.”

Such actions, the complaint asserts, constitute a blatant insult to national honor and an affront to India’s integrity and sovereignty. It also points out that such slogans could incite public disorder and are punishable under Section 505 of the IPC, as well as the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971.

In response to the allegations, Naseer Hussain has refuted the claims, asserting that his supporters had actually chanted ‘Naseer Hussain Zindabad’, not the controversial slogan attributed to them. He has called for a thorough investigation into the matter, hinting at a possible conspiracy and urging reliance on advanced technology to ascertain the truth.

Darjeeling politics: Uncertainty over presence of Anit Thapa’s BGPM in next meeting on permanent political solution

Kolkata, Dec 21 (IANS) As initiatives have started for another round of meetings for a permanent political solution in the hills of Darjeeling, Kalimpong, and Kurseong in north West Bengal, to be probably held in the next month, there is uncertainty over the presence of Anit Thapa-founded Bharatiya Gorkha Prajatantrik Morcha (BGPM) at the talks.

On one hand, the BJP’s two-time Lok Sabha member from Darjeeling Raju Bista, who is acting as a coordinator for arranging the proposed meeting, is against inviting the BGPM for the meeting.

The BGPM has a long-standing political alliance with the ruling Trinamool Congress and is the controlling party of the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA).

The BJP is of the opinion that the GTA cannot be a permanent solution for ending the political crisis in the hills.

Bista was assigned the task of coordinating the proposed tripartite meeting by Union Home Minister Amit Shah during his recent one-day visit to Siliguri in Darjeeling district this week to attend a programme on the occasion of the 61st Raising Day of the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB).

On the other hand, the Trinamool leadership in Darjeeling, including the Siliguri Municipal Corporation Mayor Gautam Deb, contends that no meeting will have any fruitful outcome without the participation of the party controlling the affairs in the GTA. “This will create larger uncertainties towards achieving any permanent political solution,” Deb said.

The Trinamool also has objected to the development of Bista getting the assignment for coordinating the proposed meeting. According to the party, such a meeting should be convened by the Union government, where the other two parties will be the state government and the GTA’s controlling party.

However, the BJP also has its own logic in the matter. According to them, since the BGPM is not a recognised political party as yet, there is no justification for inviting them to the proposed meeting.
