A report in English Daily Indian Express was revealed on January 8 with the title ‘Khalistani slogans raised by BJP workers near Ludhiana DC’s workplace’. The title, at first, clearly communicates that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) employees raised slogans favouring Khalistan. However, the truth is way from the clickbait title that IE has used.

The anti-Khalistan slogans raised by BJP
At the start of the report, IE stated Ludhiana BJP employees, together with their supporters, reached the district Deputy Commissioner’s workplace to submit a memorandum regarding the safety breach throughout Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s go to to Ferozpur. As per the report, ‘Khalistani slogans were raised’.
Moving additional, IE’s personal report recommended the slogans that BJP employees raised have been of ‘Khalistania da yaar Channi murdabad’ (buddy of Khalistanis, Channi Murdabad), and ‘Attwadian nu panah den wala Channi murdabad’ (one who host terrorists, Channi murdabad).

IE quoted Pushpinder Singal, district president of BJP, saying that when BJP’s employees have been going for the rally by way of buses, they have been stopped a number of occasions. “At some of these stops, the protesters [allegedly] were raising slogans of ‘Khalistan Zindabad’ and were spotted tearing posters of PM Narendra Modi. These protesters were mostly youngsters, and we don’t know under whose influence they were raising these slogans. There were policemen everywhere, yet they did nothing when the slogans were raised. They just watched on as mute spectators. If you are quiet, then you become a party to the wrongdoing. The police were acting under the direction of the Punjab government. Hence, today slogans were raised to condemn those slogans. Today’s slogans mentioned the CM as a friend of Khalistanis and also as someone who acts as a host for terrorists.”
Speaking to OpIndia, Pushpinder Singal stated he would look into the matter and speak to Indian Express concerning the deceptive title.
