Modi govt’s dictatorship at its peak, says AAP after Delhi Police file FIRs over posters against PM

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Wednesday (March 22) accused the Modi government of being dictatorial after the Delhi Police registered 44 First Information Reports (FIRs) and arrested four people after posters which said “Modi hatao, desh bachao” were found pasted on walls and poles across the national capital.
“The Modi government’s dictatorship is at its peak. What is so objectionable about this poster that Modi ji filed 100 FIRs for putting it up? PM Modi, it seems you do not know that India is a democratic country. Why are you so scared of one poster?” the AAP said in a tweet posted in Hindi.
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।

Special Commissioner of Police (Law and Order of Northern Zone) Dependra Pathak told The Indian Express that police intercepted a van in I P Estate when it was coming from the AAP headquarters on DDU Marg and arrested a man.
“The arrested man disclosed that his employer had asked him to deliver the posters at the AAP’s headquarters and that he had made a delivery a day earlier as well. We have arrested two other men, and further investigations are on,” Pathak said.
So far, 2,000 posters have been seized, and another 2,000 were removed after the van was intercepted, he added.
Most of the cases were registered under the Prevention of Defacement of Public Property Act, and Press and Registration of Books Act, said the police.
The incident comes two years after the Delhi Police arrested 30 people and lodged 25 FIRs over a similar incident of posters with remarks critical of Modi during the Covid vaccination drive.
