T The BJP on Thursday took a dig at the op-position parties for displaying a banner with in-correct spelling of ‘loktantra’ in Hindi during a protest on Parliament premises, saying those who do not even know how to write the said word have come out to give lessons on democracy.
This came after several MPs of the opposition IN-DIA bloc, including Con-gress Parliamentary Party (CPP) chairperson Sonia Gandhi and party MP Pri-yanka Gandhi Vadra, held a protest in Parliament House complex against the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls by the Election Commission
(EC) in poll-bound Bihar.
There was a huge banner in front of them which read: ‘SIR- loktantar par vaar’ (at-tack on democracy), as they lined up on the steps of the Makar Dwar of Parliament and staged a protest, raising slogans like “Save democracy” and “Stop vote-bandi”.
Mocking the opposition parties over the spelling of ‘loktantra’ (democracy) in the banner, BJP IT department head Amit Malviya said in a post on X in Hindi, “It’s loktantra, not loktantar.”
