BHOPAL: Taking to Twitter Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday expressed anguish over the use of objectionable language against him and his family during a protest by the Karni Sena in Bhopal.

“Recently, indecent language was used during an agitation. The people have the right to criticise the Chief Minister, but the use of indecent language for the mother (Mr Chouhan’s mother) who passed away years ago in my childhood has disturbed me,” the Chief Minister tweeted.

A video had surfaced on social media in which a man was heard shouting slogans in obscene language against the Chief Minister during a protest by the outfit at Jamboree Maidan in BHEL township few days ago.

A man identified as a 30 year old Karni Sena activist from Haryana was arrested on Thursday for allegedly raising objectionable slogans against Mr Chouhan during the protest in the state capital over their various demands.

The Karni Sena held a four-day protest from January 8 in support of their 21 demands, including no arrest to be made without a probe into the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act cases, reservations be given only once to a family (one generation), and to curb inflation..
