“Samajwadi Party leader Mehmood Alam, resident of Jhinjhana town, was arrested on the Meerut-Karnal highway when he was extorting money from passers-by,” India Today reported.
When policemen tried to arrest Alam, he raised pro-Pakistan and anti-Narendra Modi slogans. “The SP leader started shouting on top of his voice ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ after which local officials booked him for breach of peace,” a police official said.
The top officials ordered stringent action against Alam and sedition charges were added to the initial ‘challan’ after they came to know about the incident.
Station House Officer (SHO) B P Yadav and the constables on duty were then asked to ensure that the case was “properly followed in courts as per the law”, a police official said.

@Pakistani: Thats why we say partition was not completed. We should have send all of them and then we could have had less head aches.
@Pakistani: That's because they have nothing else to do. No job, no education. You know the rest.
