Indore: Posters with the words 'Jhooth Ki Goonj' surfaced across Indore ahead of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's scheduled student interaction programme in the city, triggering a war of words between the ruling BJP and the opposition party.



While the Congress termed the posters a ploy by the BJP to create obstacles for the Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition's 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' event in the city, the ruling BJP countered that students themselves had launched the campaign to express outrage over being coerced into attending the programme.

The development has come a day after the Madhya Pradesh police issued a security directive stating that organisers of the Chhatron Ki Goonj event would share joint responsibility with police for crowd control and entry-exit points at the venue, citing the Verma Commission report on Rajiv Gandhi's 1991 assassination.



Hitting out at the ruling party, the Congress's city unit president Chintu Chouksey said, "The BJP, which always lies, has put up 'Jhooth Ki Goonj' posters across the city."




The BJP had ensured every possible obstacle was created at its behest to disrupt the organisation of Gandhi's programme, he claimed, asserting that the Congress was holding the programme despite these hurdles.

Local Congress leaders and functionaries were seen removing the posters from different locations in the city.
