TMC Says It Does Not Endorse ‘Goli Maaro’ Slogan Raised By Party Supporters

The slogan was raised by a few BJP cadres, carrying the party flag along with the Indian tricolour while they were trailing a truck carrying Adhikari and Hooghly MP Locket Chatterjee in the Rathtala area of the city. The supporters claimed that the slogan was aimed at the traitors of the country “some of whom are in the Trinamool Congress”.

Earlier on Tuesday, a similar slogan of “Bengal ke gaddaron ko, goli maaaron saalon ko” was raised at a Trinamool Congress rally in south Kolkata with party activists calling for “shooting” the traitors of Bengal, in an apparent reference to the leaders who have switched over to the BJP.

The BJP spokesperson said that the slogan raised at the Chandannagar rally was aimed at terrorists, plotting against the country, while the Trinamool Congress men openly threatened the leaders who have left the party, branding them as traitors.
