Suhel Seth’s Social Media Post
Seth wrote, “It is extremely shameful that Delhi is in such a poor state in terms of both traffic and maintenance. While the Chief Minister is busy sweeping streets and taking dips in the river, this is the result. As for the police, I don’t think they have any presence left unless they become invisible like Mr. India.”
Anurag Dhanda’s Response
National Media In-charge Anurag Dhanda responded to Seth’s post, remarking, “Isn’t it even more shameful when people have opinions about a CM but do not name the CM or the ruling party in their posts out of fear?”
Dhanda’s response sparked a discussion about freedom of expression and accountability, emphasizing the climate of caution around critiquing political leadership publicly.
