A man forcefully entered a media briefing being held by Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera on Wednesday, 15 May. He barged in and protested the use of Yogi Adityanath’s real name (Ajay Singh Bisht) by Khera during the briefing.

He shouted, “Yogi Adityanath ko Ajay Singh Bisht kehna Bharatiya sanskriti ka apmaan hai, Vande Mataram, Bharat mata ki jai."

(Translated: Calling Yogi Adityanath Ajay Singh Bisht is equivalent to insulting Indian culture. Vande Mataram, Bharat Mata ki jai)

He can also be seen holding the Indian national flag in the video.

After disrupting the meeting, he was led out by the security there. Post this, Pawan Khera continued with his interaction with the media.
