After Anurag Thakur’s “Goli Maaro” slogan at an election rally, poll officer seeks report
A defiant Mr Thakur later told reporters: "First watch the entire video... The mood of the people of Delhi should also be analysed."
New Delhi: The election officer has asked for a report after Union Minister Anurag Thakur was caught on camera at an election rally in Delhi on Monday encouraging the crowd to say “goli maaro” – or gun down traitors.
In a widely-shared video, the minister, who was campaigning for the BJP candidate in North West Delhi, can be seen and heard chanting “desh ke gaddaron ko”, to which the crowd enthusiastically replied “goli maaro sa***n ko”; the entire chant translates to “shoot down the traitors who betray the country”.
A defiant Mr Thakur later told reporters: “First watch the entire video… The mood of the people of Delhi should also be analysed.”
