Posters Portray Rahul Gandhi as 'Real-Life Batman' Near Congress Headquarters
Posters depicting Rahul Gandhi as the 'real-life Batman' appeared near Congress headquarters in Delhi, featuring captions like 'The Silent Guardian' and 'A Watchful Protector.' These were put up by Delhi Pradesh Youth Congress chief Akshay Lakra following Gandhi's humorous response to a social media question asking if he was Batman. The display coincides with Gandhi's recent activism, including protests demanding justice for a student injured during a police crackdown. The Supreme Court has also formed a panel to investigate police actions during these protests.
