NEW DELHI: Indian police have booked over 200 hundred people for chanting seditious slogans at a rally taken out by the opposition Congress party in Uttar Pradesh state on Saturday, local media reported on Monday.
District and unit leaders of Congress were among the people booked in the FIR by Moradabad police for chanting “Pakistan Zindabad” slogans, according to reports.
