People in Okhla being pressurised to raise slogans: AAP MLA

New Delhi: AAP MLA from Okhla alleged that minority community members in his constituency were being "threatened" by right-wing organizations and pressurised to raise "Bharat Mata ki Jai" slogans.

Raising the issue in the Delhi Assembly, Khan said he has received several complaints from people living in his constituency in this regard.

"In some section of Okhla, members of RSS and VHP are pressurizing people to say 'Bharat Mata ki Jai. Such issues are stoked whenever elections are round the corner," he said.
