Amulya Leona raised the slogan ‘Pakistan zindabad’ at an anti-CAA rally organized by the head of AIMIM Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday.
Authorities said police will first interrogate Amulya and then present her to a court.
The shock spoiled Owaisi’s function here when the girl managed to get on stage and began shouting slogans: ‘Hindustan Zindabad’ and ‘Pakistan Zindabad’.
She wanted to differentiate between ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ and ‘Hindustan Zindabad’, but the organizers and police officers on duty took her quickly.
Owaisi himself hastened to remove the microphone. I was having an individual relationship with the public.
Owaisi said: “I condemn this statement. The woman is not associated with us. Humare Liye Bharat Zindabad Tha, Zindabad Rahega.”
