The political atmosphere in Karnataka has been charged following allegations by the BJP that Congress party workers shouted 'Pakistan Zindabad' slogans during the celebration of Congress leader Naseer Hussain's victory in the Rajya Sabha Elections. The Congress has denied these allegations. In response to these events, BJP workers protested in Hassan against the Congress, and the Karnataka Assembly was adjourned amid slogans by BJP and Congress MLCs over the alleged pro-Pakistan slogan. Various political figures have commented on the incident, emphasizing the need for investigation and 'strict action' if the allegations are proven true, while others have criticized the incident as an example of 'appeasement politics'. Meanwhile, outside Karnataka, BJP leaders and officials, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP national president JP Nadda, attended the Central Election Committee meeting in Delhi, discussing key strategies and preparations for upcoming elections.
