Six persons were detained from Delhi’s Rajiv Chowk metro station on Saturday for raising inflammatory slogans even as the northeast Delhi is recovering from the violence that broke out on Sunday.
A group of people wearing white t-shirts and orange headgears were seen chanting “desh ke gaddaron ko, goli maaro s***n ko (shoot the traitors of the country)” in the morning, it was reported in various news reports. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited (DMRCL) authorities handed them over to the railway police. The detainees were passengers who started sloganeering after getting off a train, the metro authorities were quoted saying.
The said slogan led to a major controversy when it was used in an election rally attended by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) minister of state Anurag Thakur. Another BJP leader Abhay Verma used the “goli maaro” slogan at a march shortly before gunmen opened fire at the protesters of Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in Delhi. Kapil Mishra and Parvesh Verma from BJP have also been accused of using inflammatory speeches that led to the violence in Delhi.
At least 42 persons died and hundreds injured in the violence that broke out in Delhi last week for four days from Sunday.
