Opposition leaders on Saturday scorned at the Narendra Modi government for arresting people who allegedly pasted posters critical of the prime minister’s Covid vaccination policy.
The Congress demanded to know the legal basis for the action, while the Trinamool Congress wondered why the government was cracking down on citizens for asking a “perfectly valid question”.
The controversy erupted earlier this week, when posters mocking Modi for exporting vaccines without thinking about domestic demand were spotted in Delhi. “Modi ji humare bachon ka vaccine videsh kyon bhej diya? [Why did you send our children’s vaccines abroad?]” the posters read.
