The city streets were awash with colours and energy as protesters marched on, shouting slogans against the Crime Minister and demanding that the Prime Minister face Parliament. Their voices echoed off the walls of government buildings, reverberating through the streets like thunder.

As they made their way down the busy avenue, they passed by a poster that read “Go back Mr. Crime Minister” and another that read “Mr. The Prime Minister was insulted in Parliament.”

However, these posters are not without controversy. Many of them are unauthorised, prompting the senior police official to speak out against them. “We are in move with the Pune Municipal Corporation to delete these unauthorised posters,” he explained to PTI. The legality of their message is not in question – it is their method that is being scrutinised.

Nevertheless, the posters have caught the attention of the public and the media. In particular, they highlight the growing dissatisfaction of the opposition towards the BJP-led central government. Women’s safety, Manipur violence, unemployment – all are brought up as grievances that must be addressed.
