NEW DELHI: Indian police have booked over 200 hundred people for chanting seditious slogans at a rally taken out by the opposition Congress party in Uttar Pradesh state on Saturday, local media reported on Monday.
District and unit leaders of Congress were among the people booked in the FIR by Moradabad police for chanting “Pakistan Zindabad” slogans, according to reports.
“We are trying to identify the people seen shouting the slogan,” said a senior police official.
We found ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ was chanted (after studying the footage), and an FIR was lodged under IPC Section 124-A (sedition),” Indian media reported the police official as saying.
Congress leaders in the state denied the charges and said the video on the basis of which they were booked is doctored.
