Man Thrashed For Raising Pro-Modi Slogan At Opposition Protest In Delhi

It's Day 3 of Opposition protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision, or SIR, of electoral rolls. The casualty though was a man chanting pro-Modi slogans amid scores of anti-government protesters in the heart of New Delhi.

There were news cameras all around. Anti-Modi slogans were being raised. Amid all this, a man took a different approach. He voiced a pro-Modi slogan. A crowd surrounded him. Then came the slaps as the man was pushed around and hit repeatedly, showed a video.

The BJP was quick to take offense and blamed the Congress for "attacking", what it called, "We The Peope of India". 

"Shame on Congress workers! When a citizen of India raised slogans in favour of PM @narendramodi, Congress workers encircle him and beat him up!" BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari posted on X, along with the video.
