Bengaluru, Aug 15: Home Minister G Parameshwara on Sunday said he has directed the police to identify those who reportedly shouted anti-India slogans at an event here on Saturday.
“We have learnt that some students shouted slogans. But it is not clear whether somebody else was behind it. Bengaluru City Police Commissioner N S Megharikh has been directed to conduct a probe and identify them. Stringent action will be taken against those who shouted anti-India slogans. If it is confirmed that they have connections with terrorists, the case will be handed over to a federal investigation agency,” he told reporters.
On Saturday, Amnesty International had organised a programme highlighting the human rights' violations in Jammu and Kashmir at the United Theological College. A section of students shouted slogans against the Indian Army during the event.
BSY demands action
State BJP president B S Yeddyurappa said the government should arrest those who indulged in sloganeering and initiate legal action against them.
“Some people shouted slogans against the armed forces. They have also raised pro-Pakistan slogans. Nobody should compromise on the sovereignty of the country. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah should direct the police to act against the culprits,” he told reporters.
“Who organised the event? Who gave them permission to organise it? What was their intention? All these issues should be probed,” he said. Though the police have information on those involved, Parameshwara claimed that he has no clue about them, he charged.
He also wrote to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, requesting him to order a thorough probe into the incident.

Why our hindu brothers are acting like ignorant... if the army is committing crime in Kashmir and some one who is hurt will speak on it, its not ANTI NATIONAL... (Atleast speak the truth and by supporting the attrocites of some army , U are aslo becoming heartless to the evil done by the oppressors. which will be accounted in the eyes of the CREATOR one day.
U will know the real meaning When it happens to your family or close ones..
Freedom of Killing is worst than Freedom of Slogan
Blind Nationalist and blind nationalism is more dangerous than terrorism.
If Army doing something wrong, people have rights to speak against that and don't consider as anti-India slogan.
Why Police and our law is not taking action against those busy with anti-National or anti-India activities through Gow raksha, communal violence, hatred speeches etc etc.
If army harassing them and doing all wrong things, then we have to tell the truth and remove that kind of persons in the army. Wrong is always wrong only. If any one shout slogans against that army what crime he did??? We don't have that right also???!!!
