Three BJP workers have been arrested after a complaint was registered at New Market Police Station against them for raising '“desh ke gaddaron ko, goli maro...” (shoot the traitors) slogan in Esplanade area in Kolkata on Sunday, ANI reported on Monday, 2 March.

The West Bengal BJP unit on Sunday had come under fire after a group of people holding the party flag allegedly raised the incendiary slogan on their way to a rally of Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

Shah on Sunday arrived in Kolkata on a day-long visit, as citizens and Opposition parties protested against the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), raising ‘Go back’ slogans.

Shah held a rally in the city to “clear the confusion” around the CAA.
