Members of the Bahujan Kranti Morcha allegedly chanted anti-national and pro-Pakistan slogans during an anti-Citizens Amendment Act (CAA) rally held at Gandhi Chhak in Keonjhar town on Wednesday.

According to reports, the incident took place when the agitators staged a road blockade opposing the CAA and chanted various anti- India and pro- Pakistan slogans. But their sloganeering provoked the locals, who gathered at the spot in large numbers and shouted ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ slogan.

Later, the district unit of the BJP lodged a police complaint against the members of Bahujan Kranti Morcha in this connection. Cops have detained two Morcha members for questioning and further investigation is underway.
