New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party has released posters carrying the message "Modi Hatao, Desh Bachao" (Remove Modi, Save the Nation) in 11 different languages. These posters will be put up across the country on March 30.
Apart from Hindi, Urdu, English, and Punjabi, the posters have also been released in several other languages, including Gujarati, Telugu, Bengali, Oriya, Kannada, Malayalam, and Marathi.
The Aam Aadmi Party organized a large public meeting on March 23 at Jantar Mantar, where Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann addressed the gathering. During this event, Gopal Rai, the party's Delhi State Coordinator, announced that the party will be putting up "Modi Hatao, Desh Bachao" posters across the nation on March 30.
The announcement came a day after posters reading "Modi Hatao, Desh Bachao" appeared on walls and electricity poles across the national capital, with the Delhi Police arresting six people and registering over 100 FIRs in connection with the posters.
“Modi’s government’s dictatorship is at its peak. What is objectionable in this poster that Modiji lodged 100 FIRs over it. PM Modi, maybe you don’t know that India is a democratic country, why so afraid by a poster,” AAP said in a tweet.
Reacting to the arrests, Gopal Rai said as quoted by PTI, "The prime minister is getting scared because of slogans like 'Remove Modi, Save the Country' being written on walls. Now the voice of the people of the country will not be suppressed by FIRs and arrests by police."
Rai said the country was facing grave danger. "The country got a Constitution, democracy, parliamentary system, Election Commission, independent agencies and a judiciary after a long struggle by freedom fighters. But after 75 years of independence, the freedom, democracy and the Constitution, which were achieved on the strength of those freedom fighters, are facing danger. Undeclared dictatorship has been implemented in this country," he said.
