Party leaders and supporters walked the street and arrived near the Goldighi Mall. Slogans were raised against Badar Uddin Ajmal, Pakistan and the Congress. Addressing the gathering BJP district President Kaushik Rai said, “We strongly denounce such anti-national slogans raised on Thursday in presence of AIUDF supremo Maulana Badar Uddin Ajmal. This is a black day in the history of the country. This is the time to save India from the hands of the miscreants. I do believe that police will soon identify the culprits who raised ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogan.” He also denounced the Congress for forming an alliance with an ‘anti-national’ party like that of AIUDF.

Party Vice President Dipayan Chakraborty and General Secretary Kanad Purkaystha also criticised the anti-national activities involving the AIUDF.
