Controversial "Modi's Real Family" Posters Lead to Police Action in Delhi

Prompt Police Response
Following these provocations, the Delhi Police quickly filed a First Information Report (FIR). This action, taken under the Delhi Prevention of Defacement of Property Act, targets anonymous individuals responsible for these unauthorized posters.
The complaint, initiated by a New Delhi Municipal Council official, pointed out the legal issues with the posters, especially the lack of details about the publisher or the person(s) behind their display.
Political Fallout and People's Reactions
This episode unfolds against the backdrop of controversial statements from Lalu Prasad Yadav, the former Chief Minister of Bihar. Yadav criticized Prime Minister Modi’s personal life and religious commitments, igniting further political debate.
In response, Prime Minister Modi emphasized unity and inclusivity, asserting that the entire nation is his family. At a recent rally, he presented his life as transparent, insisting that every Indian is a part of his family, irrespective of their background. This stance serves as a rebuttal to the criticism and highlights Modi’s dedication to all citizens’ welfare.
