The Ballari district unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) staged a protest demonstration in Ballari on Wednesday condemning the “pro-Pakistan” slogans raised by a Congress activist in the Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru on Tuesday after Congress candidate Syed Nasir Hussain was on Tuesday elected to the Rajya Sabha.
BJP workers gathered at Haviyappa Circle and formed a human chain raising slogans against the Congress and criticising the party for its “pro-Pakistani” tendencies.
The agitating activists then marched to the office of Mr. Hussain on the premises of Ballari Urban Development Authority and made an attempt to lay a siege to it.
