The AAP on Sunday had set itself the task of putting up posters in many parts of the city criticizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the lack of Covid-19 vaccines. Several workers were arrested and hundreds “harassed” by police in Delhi.
AAP senior leader Durgesh Pathak said the police action would not deter the party and put up similar campaign-mode posters across the city and across the country.
“The AAP is behind these posters. I stand behind the posters. Arrest me and our MLAs, but don’t harass poor people who paste posters for a meager payment,” Pathak said at a press conference.

Pathak said people across the country were asking the same question about why the prime minister and the BJP government exported millions of doses of vaccine to 94 countries, including Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq, which could have contributed to thousands of lives in India rescue.
“People are dying across the country from Covid and there is no place in crematoria and bodies floating in the rivers. These lives could have been saved if vaccines had not been exported,” he claimed.
