Syed Naseer Hussain’s Response to the Complaint and Allegations
Syed Nasir Hussain posted a video on X to clarify the incident, in the video, he stated “Today, as some of our workers and supporters and some people were celebrating the victory of three candidates, I was there in the midst of them and then lots of slogans like Naseer Hussain, zindabad… Congress Party Zindabad and all were being raised by some of the workers. Then all of a sudden, when I was leaving, I got calls from the media saying that somebody had read pro-Pakistan slogans. I would like to say here that when I was there when I was in the midst of the people, there were lots of slogans that were being shouted there. But I never heard a slogan called Pakistan Zindabad there. But whatever it is, we already asked the police and let the police investigate it. If somebody has raised such a kind of a slogan then he has to be dealt with sternly and strictly according to the law. There should be an inquiry. And in case somebody has mocked the video, if somebody has doctored the video and played mischief, even that has to be inquired. Or if somebody has given the slogan who are they? From where did he come and how did they enter the premises there? What was their intention and motive for shouting the slogan should also be seen. But as far as I am concerned, when I was there, no slogan was shouted there… So let us wait for the inquiry and whatever comes out will be there in the public domain..”

Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge also said in a statement to the news reporter, “It is very clear in the audio that they have said Naseer Hussain and Syed Sahab Zindabad…This is nothing but a desperate measure for the BJP to get back in the game. The party has done an audio forensic check and it is found that there is nothing like that. The govt’s FSL report is expected by 11 am…”
In response to the clarification video, Union Minister Prahlad Joshi urged Congress’s top authorities to take serious action and stated that “Today after the victory of Naseer Hussain in Rajya Sabha election from Congress party in the Vidhana Soudha, pro-Pakistani slogans have been raised by the Congress party workers. Instead of condemning this, Naseer Hussain is trying to mislead and say that somebody is spreading false news, which is more dangerous.”
