The development comes just three days after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) released posters carrying the message "Modi Hatao, Desh Bachao" (Remove Modi, Save the Nation) in 11 different languages. The party said that these posters would 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.

मोदी सरकार की तानाशाही चरम पर है‼️

इस Poster में ऐसा क्या आपत्तिजनक है जो इसे लगाने पर मोदी जी ने 100 F.I.R. कर दी?

PM Modi, आपको शायद पता नहीं पर भारत एक लोकतांत्रिक देश है।

“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.
