Both the ruling BJP and opposition parties have urged authorities to investigate the use of 'Free Kashmir' slogans, citing concerns over public order.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and several opposition parties have jointly appealed to the government for a formal investigation into the chanting of "Free Kashmir" slogans at recent public gatherings. Reports of the slogans being raised at rallies and meetings have prompted the parties to raise concerns about potential threats to national unity.
In a coordinated move, the parties have written to the Home Ministry and local police authorities, seeking a detailed probe and possible legal action against individuals or groups responsible for the slogans. They argue that such expressions contravene the Indian Constitution and could inflame communal tensions.
Security agencies have taken note of the complaints, though the central government has not yet issued an official statement. The demand for a probe underscores the heightened sensitivity surrounding Kashmir‑related discourse following the revocation of the region's special status.
Political analysts note that the issue may gain further prominence as elections approach, but the parties maintain that their primary aim is to safeguard public order and uphold the country's territorial integrity.
