Or else such people should be exiled to Pakistan, and no one should should show softness towards them and fight cases in their favour,” he said at Somwarpet in Kodagu. Amulya Leona, a woman who raised pro-Pakistan slogans at an anti- Citizenship Amendment Act rally in Bengaluru on Thursday, has been booked for sedition and remanded to judicial custody. She had raised “Pakistan Zindabad” slogans thrice after the organisers, under the banner of “Save the Constitution”, invited her to address the gathering in the presence of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi. Agriculture minister Patil on Sunday had expressed the need for a legislation to shoot such people, and said he would make a request to the prime minister in this regard. “A law should be brought in the country that who ever raises slogans against India and in favour of Pakistan, they should be shot at sight. Bringing such a law is important,” Patil had said.
