Karnataka Minister CT Ravi has came out in support of Union Minister Anurag Thakur after the latter was captured on a video asking people at poll rally in Delhi to "goli maaro" (gun down) traitors".

CT Ravi in a tweet on Tuesday slammed at Anurag Thakur's critics and said they should "get bullet(s) not biryani".

Ravi goes on to accuse critics of Thakur "spreading lies" against the Citizenship Act and supporting the "tukde tukde gang".

"Those attacking Union MoS Anurag Thakur for his statement against traitors are the ones who opposed death to terrorists Ajmal Kasab and Yakub Memon; supported Tukde Tukde Gang; spread lies against #CAA. Anti-nationals should get bullet not biryani," CT Ravi said.

Union Minister Anurag Thakur has been served an Election Commission notice for chanting the first half of a slogan - "desh ke gaddaron ko" - that concludes with the call "goli maaro sa***n ko"; the chant translates as "shoot down traitors who betray the country".


The poll body said prima facie the remarks had the "potential of disturbing communal harmony and aggravating existing differences between social and religious communities".

A reply has been sought by 12 pm on January 30. Delhi will vote February 8, with results due February 11.
