It’s clear violation of various sections of IPC: Kapil Sibal on Anurag Thakur’s ‘goli maro’ slogan

After MoS Finance Anurag Thakur raised slogans of ‘Desh Ke Gaddaro Ko, Goli Maaro Saalo Ko’ during an election rally in national capital, Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal said that such slogans are clear violation of several IPC sections. He said, “BJP started these slogans. Their people and ministers took out rallies, and said, ‘Desh Ke Gaddaro Ko, Goli Maaro Saalo Ko’. I am shocked at the fact that police, Election Commission, Central Government didn’t act on this slogan. Till date, home minister and prime minister didn’t give any statement regarding this. This slogan is a clear violation of various sections of Indian Penal Code (IPC). These people can be persecuted. But since this is coming from government and BJP, nobody is taking action against it.” The given slogan has been used against people who are protesting against Citizenship (Amendment) Act. Anurag Thakur raised this slogan at a rally ahead of Assembly Election in Delhi on January 27.
