Bengaluru: Pro-Pakistan slogans raised by a woman Amulya is condemnable. Organizers should be cautious about people belonging to that category, suggested JDS legislative party leader HD Kumaraswamy. 

Speaking to presspersons in Ramanagara on Friday, he said that the country was important today. As Indians, it is our duty to pay respect to our country. Whether she did it deliberately or did it for publicity. Whether she is aware of it or not, I do not know. 

Our party activist Imran was also responsible for organizing the event. Mike was snatched from her hands as soon as she shouted the slogans. It makes clear that this was not a deliberate attempt by the organizers. 

We do not have to learn patriotism lesson from BJP," he noted.

The right given by the Constitution, the aspirations of the Constitution and the country cannot be dismantled by anyone. 

There is no need to divert attention only because a mischievous slogan, Kumaraswamy criticized.

Let the Truth be known. If you read VB and like VB, please be a VB Supporter and Help us deliver the Truth to one and all.
