Are you Pakistanis, BJP’s Sonali Phogat to rally participants

Chandigarh, October 09, 2019 (PPI-OT): BJP candidate Sonali Phogat has asked a group of people if they were from Pakistan when they did not chant ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ at her rally in the Adampur constituency in Hisar district of Haryana. Addressing a few people who remained silent after she asked the audience to raise the slogan at the rally Sonali Phogat said, “Pakistan se aaye ho kya? Pakistani ho kya? Agar Hindustan se aaye ho to Bharat Mata ki Jai bolo. (Have you come from Pakistan? Are you Pakistanis? If you are from India chant ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’).”

The rally was held in Balsamand village in Adampur in Hisar district. Phogat (40) then repeated her chants of ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’. Turning to that section in the crowd again, on her right, she said, “I feel ashamed that people like you too are Indians, who would not chant ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ for petty politics.”

In a video of Phogat’s purported outburst, which went viral on social media, she is seen further telling them, “Those who cannot say ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’, their vote has no value”. “Shame on those who cannot chant ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai.”
