Indian police on Sunday booked leaders and workers of the Congress party on sedition charges for allegedly chanting ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans during a protest rally against Uri attack, The Indian Express reported.

The protesters led by district and city unit presidents Arun Pratap Singh and Yaseen Qureshi in the city of Moradabad, took to the roads Saturday to protest against the militant attack in India-held Kashmir which killed 18 Indian soldiers.

Local police lodged a First Information Report (FIR) Indian Penal Code Section 124-A after it was informed about the ‘anti-national’ slogans.

The police also acquired video evidence of the rally, which the Congress leaders claim to be doctored.
