BJP demands action against BSP men for ‘abusive’ slogans

Hitting back at Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday said her clarification on the abusive slogans raised by her party workers during a protest rally was “laughable” and demanded that she initiate action against her partymen.

“Mayawati has given a half-baked and laughable clarification on the abusive slogans raised by her party workers during a protest rally. The entire country knows what they meant by those slogans.

“Why is she not taking action against her party leader Naseemuddin Siddiqui in whose presence BSP workers raised abusive slogans?” BJP state general secretary Vijay Bahadur Pathak said.

After Dayashankar Singh had sparked an outrage by his derogatory comments questioning the character of the BSP supremo, the party had on Thursday held a huge protest in Hazratbal and raised slogans against the expelled BJP leader’s family.
