Poster war: BJP posters calling for Kejriwal’s ouster come up in Delhi
The BJP-AAP ‘poster war’ continues in Delhi as the saffron party-sponsored posters calling for the removal of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal were seen plastered in parts of the national capital on Thursday, days after similar posters were posted by “anonymous” persons targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The BJP-AAP ‘poster war’ continues in Delhi as the saffron party-sponsored posters calling for the removal of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal were seen plastered in parts of the national capital on Thursday, days after similar posters were posted by “anonymous” persons targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The anti-Kejriwal posters with the slogan ‘Arvind Kejriwal ko hatao, Dilli Bachao (Remove Arvind Kejriwal, Save Delhi’ with a header calling the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Corrupt, Dishonest and Dictator—were reported seen pasted in Delhi this morning, two days after the Delhi Police’s crackdown on anti-Modi posters which read ‘Modi hatao, desh bachao (remove Modi, save the country.’
The anti-Kejriwal posters were allegedly put up by BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa.
The posters calling for the removal of PM Modi to “save the country” were removed during a large-scale crackdown by the Police on Tuesday, which also led to the arrest of six accused, including two printing press owners.
The arrested printing press owners allegedly told the police that they had received an order to print 50,000 “Modi hatao, desh bachao” posters.

Police said the arrests were made for defacing public property and under the law, the posters were required to carry the name of the printing press. They said that only 36 cases out of 138 filed were for the anti-Modi posters.
According to the Delhi Police, they reportedly seized around 2,000 posters that were on their way to being delivered in a van to the AAP office.
However, Delhi CM Kejriwal trashed the police version of the arrests and claimed that the Prime Minister is “scared” and “insecure.”
Later, in a tweet, the Kejriwal-led AAP termed the police action as the “peak of Modi government’s dictatorship” as asked what was objectionable in the posters. AAP has also announced a protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar today to demand the removal of PM Modi.
The BJP accused the AAP of violating the law by putting up such posters, notably, however, the former never acknowledged the act.

AAP shares video of Manish Sisodia being manhandled by cops, Delhi Police issues clarification

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday claimed that former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia was allegedly “manhandled” by the cops as he tried to address some reporters at the Rose Avenue Court where he was due for a bail hearing.
Sharing a video of the incident which showed the jailed AAP leader being grabbed by the collar by a police official and pulled away from the press, Delhi Education Minister Atishi Singh wrote on Twitter: “Shocking misbehaviour by this policeman with Manish ji in Rouse Avenue Court.”
The AAP minister demanded the immediate suspension of the Delhi policeman seen in the video.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal shared Atishi’s post and asked if the cops have the right to mistreat Sisodia and wondered if they’ve been asked to do this by “higher authorities.”
Responding to the video, the Delhi Police termed the AAP’s allegations as “propaganda” and claimed that the police response as seen in the video was mandated from a security point of view as it is unlawful for an accused in judicial custody to issue statements to the media.
Meanwhile, Delhi’s Rose Avenue Court today extended Manish Sisodia’s judicial custody till June 1 in connection with a money laundering case related to the purported liquor scam case.
Earlier this month, the Delhi High Court had asked the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to file a response to the bail request by Sisodia who was arrested by the probe agency in connection with the purported liquor policy scam case.
On April 28, Sisodia was denied relief by a trial court which dismissed his bail plea on April 28 while observing that evidence prima facie “speaks volumes of his involvement in commission of the offence.”
The senior AAP leader was arrested by the ED on March 9 in Tihar Jail where he was lodged after being arrested by the CBI in connection with the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam case.
Manish Sisodia was arrested by the CBI on February 26 in connection with its ongoing probe into the purported Delhi excise policy ‘scam’ case.
At an earlier hearing, the ED had told the court that Sisodia was allegedly involved in “large-scale destruction of digital evidence to impede the investigation” and had purportedly changed and destroyed 14 phones.
