A political storm brews in Delhi as the government released a provocative poster demanding an explanation from Leader of Opposition Atishi Marlena. The controversy centers around remarks made during an Assembly session, which allegedly used offensive language, sparking tensions over religious sensitivity.

Delhi Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra, addressing reporters, detailed the incident that took place during a session recognizing the martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji and others. He criticized Marlena's absence from the Assembly and media and demanded her public apology for the alleged statements.
