Minister of State for Finance, Anurag Thakur on Monday faced flak in Parliament for his act of egging a crowd to chant the controversial 'goli maaron...' slogan following three incidents of shooting at anti-CAA protesters in the past four days in Delhi.
The opposition raised the statement in the Parliament made by Union Minister Anurag Thakur in which he had proposed to "shoot the traitors" following which the Election Commission restricted him for a certain period from campaigning in Delhi ahead of the Legislative Assembly elections in the city on February 8.
As Thakur started speaking in Lok Sabha, the Opposition MPs continuously shouted slogans saying "Goli maarna bandh karo (Stop firing bullets)". The House was adjourned soon amid the ruckus.
