A day after supporters of Rajya Sabha winner from Congress, Syed Nasir Hussain, allegedly raised “Pakistan Zindabad” slogans in the corridors of the Vidhana Soudha, the BJP on Wednesday demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah-led Congress government for “providing protection to pro-Pakistani and anti-India elements” in the State and demanded National Investigation Agency (NIA) probe into the incident.

The Legislative Council also saw uproarious scenes and the BJP and the Congress members nearly came to blows at one point.

Home Minister G. Parameshwara said in the Assembly that the police had registered a case, and if the FSL report proves that a supporter had indeed shouted pro-Pakistan slogans, action would be initiated.

In the Legislative Assembly, Leader of the Opposition R. Ashok raised the issue and said that the government has been “shielding the accused” involved in the alleged incident and none had been arrested or inquiry initiated.
