Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], February 28 (HBTV): Rajya Sabha member Syed Naseer Hussain has posted a video as a 'clarification' to alleged pro-Pakistan sloganeering in the state's Vidhana Soudha by his supporters during a celebration following his victory declaration. 

In a video post shared on 'X', Hussain said "Today, as some of our party supporters and workers and some people were celebrating the victory of three candidates, I was there in the midst of them and then lots of slogans like 'Naseer Hussain Zindabad', 'Naseer Khan Zindabad', 'Naseer Sahab Zindabad' and 'Congress Party Zindabad' were being raised by some of the workers."     

"Then all of a sudden as I was leaving for my house, I got called by the media saying that somebody had raised slogans of 'Pakistan Zindabad'. I would like to say here that when I was there in the midst of the people, a lot of slogans were being raised but I never heard the slogan 'Pakistan Zindabad', but whatever it is we have asked the police and let the police investigate it," he said further.    

"However, as far as I am concerned, when I was there, there were no such slogans that were raised, because if the slogans had been raised in our presence then I am sure no sane person or an Indian citizen would have tolerated it. So, let us wait for the enquiry and whatever comes forward, we will be there in the public domain. Thank you so much," added the RS member in the video.    

Union Minister Pralhad Joshi had strongly condemned the alleged pro-Pakistan slogans raised by the supporters of Congress leader Syed Naseer Hussain in the Vidhana Soudha after he emerged victorious as a Rajya Sabha member.   

Joshi alleged that the grand old party was directly "supporting" Pakistan.
