All About The Woman Arrested For Saying Pakistan Zindabad

Amulya Leona Noronha, a student of NMKRV College for Women, raised pro-Pakistan slogans at an anti-CAA protest in Bangalore on Thursday which led the city police to file a case of sedition against her. Moments before Noronha went up on the stage and shouted “ Pakistan Zindabad “, AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaddudin Owaisi was giving a speech. As he was leaving the stage, she took the mic and started to raise pro-Pakistan slogans and as soon as Owaisi and his entourage heard the slogans, they rushed back to the girl to stop her and snatch the mic from her hands. The controversy found it’s way on social media, courtesy a viral video, and Noronha has been booked for sedition igniting animosity between communities and disrupting the peace. People also raise ‘ Hindustan Zindabad ‘ slogans in speeches aimed at hitting back at the CAA detractors. But when ‘ Pakistan Zindabad ‘ slogan is raised, the audience keeps quiet. I wanted to say next that all of us are Indians, and had planned to raise ‘ Hindustan Zindabad ‘ slogan thereafter. The 19-year-old is not new to controversy as earlier in January, she heckled Mahesh Vikram Hegde , the editor of Right-wing propaganda website Postcard News . She is a resident of Karnataka’s Chikkamagaluru area and her father Oswald Noronha is also an activist fighting for the cause of the environment. She was joined by some Muslims and wasn’t listening to me,” Noronha told ANI .
