Bengaluru/IBNS: Triggering a new controversy, a young woman chanted "Pakistan Zindabad" in the presence of AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi at a rally here to protest against Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR) on Thursday, media reports said.
The woman, identified as Amulya, asked people to shout along with her "Pakistan Zindabad" from the stage.

The organisers of the event "Save Constitution" invited her to address the gathering soon after Owaisi came on the stage.
They were taken aback by her slogan.
Owaisi then rushed to snatch the mike from her hands and was joined by others who tried to remove her from the dais.
However, the woman was adamant and kept raising the slogan repeatedly.
The police had to intervene then and removed her from the dais.
Later, Owaisi also claimed that he denounced her action and asserted "we are for India."
"Neither me nor my party has any link with her. We denounce her. The organisers should not have invited her here. If I knew this, I would not have come here. We are for India and we no way support our enemy nation Pakistan. Our entire drive is to save India," the AIMIM MP said.
A case has been registered under Sec124A (Offence of sedition) of the Indian Penal Code against Amulya. She will be produced before a court after police interrogation.
