Alarm In Bhopal Over Massive Cong-backed Anti-Macron Protest; MP CM Shivraj Reads Riot Act

As three people were killed in the French city of Nice amidst the raging global debate and outcry over French President Emmanuel Macron attributing the extremist attacks to “Islamic terror”, on Thursday, a huge gathering along with some Congress leaders protested in Madhya Pradesh’s Bhopal at Iqbal Maidan.

The protesters said that they are against French President Emmanuel Macron as he has stated that the depiction of the Prophet in cartoons won’t stop in France. Speaking at the demonstration, Congress MLA Arif Masood demanded that the Union government ask the Indian Ambassador to France to register a protest against anti-Muslim stand of that country’s regime.

Now, reacting to the video of the massive crowd at Iqbal Maidan, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that a case will be registered against all including Congress leader Masood under 188 IPC (Disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant). He has said that Madhya Pradesh is a place of peace and such action will not be tolerated, adding that stringent action will be taken against the culprits, irrespective of their post.
