BJP workers raise 'goli maro...' slogan en route to Amit Shah's rally in Kolkata

A section of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers on Sunday raised the incendiary "goli maro..." (shoot the traitors) slogan on their way to a rally addressed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

The group, carrying party flags, were heard shouting the slogan en route to the Shahid Minar ground.

When contacted, a senior officer of the Kolkata Police declined to comment on anything on the incident, but said, "Strict action will be taken against anybody trying to disrupt the law and order situation in the city."

Amit Shah is on a day-long visit to Kolkata.

There has been a controversy over the raising of such slogans during BJP rallies during Delhi Assembly polls and protests in favor of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) due to allegations that they provoke violence.
