The 'Goli Maaro' Consequences
A 17 year-old-boy opened fire at people protesting the citizenship law near the Jamia Millia Islamia University in Delhi, causing chaos and panic in the area. One person has been injured. In a video, the teen can be seen walking on a road, waving a gun as he shouts 'Yeh lo aazadi (here's your freedom)' at the protesters. The incident comes against the backdrop of hate speeches made during the campaign for the February 8 Delhi election; Union Minister Anurag Thakur has been banned from campaigning for 72 hours after he was caught on camera encouraging the slogan 'Desh Ke Gaddaro Ko, Goli Maaro S***** Ko (Shoot the traitors)' at a rally. On the show tonight we try to understand if what happened today was a direct consequence of the slogan 'Goli Maaro'.
