Stating that that those who raised pro-Pakistan slogan in the Vidhana Soudha are closely associated with the Congress, Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Pralhad Joshi has demanded that newly-elected Rajya Sabha member Syed Naseer Hussain should not be allowed to take oath until he tenders public apology.
Speaking to presspersons in Hubballi on Friday, Mr. Joshi said that Mr. Naseer Hussain brought his supporters inside the Vidhana Soudha and made them raise pro-Pakistan slogan. What is worst is that instead of tendering an apology, he is justifying it, he said.
“There are photographs of the accused person/s taken with Rahul Gandhi and Siddaramaiah. What more evidence do you require to prove their proximity to the Congress. At least for the sake of his indebtedness to the nation, he should tender an apology. Otherwise we have to infer that Mr. Naseer Hussain supports such sloganeering,” he said.
