PATNA: Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), BJP's students' wing, has come out with an obscene slogan as part of its campaign against
Bangla infiltrators: "Bangladeshi ghuspaithiyon ke dalalon ko, joota maro sa-- ko."

When contacted, ABVP organising secretary Gopal Sharma said it was not the slogan that was officially sanctioned. "Officially, we have coined four or five slogans. They are part of our campaign against Bangladeshi infiltrators. They have also been addressed to youths so as to mobilise them," Sharma said, adding: "I don't believe that any of our volunteers wrote the one you have pointed to. Those who are opposed to us might have done it."

Sharma also flaunted his innocence and asked TOI to point out the spot where that particular slogan was on the wall in Patna.

Anybody who takes off from Seosagar Ram Ghoolam Road, that rings around Gandhi Maidan and enters Chhajju Bagh road, might be struck by that graffiti on the wall of Shri Krishna Sinha Science Centre on the left. Of course, the other ABVP slogans are also there.
