The BJP found fresh ammunition on Thursday to take a swipe at the Congress, this time over a spelling error in a protest placard. As language wars continue to flare across Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra, the ruling party seized on a gaffe during an opposition protest in Parliament.
Members of the INDIA bloc were seen holding up posters criticising the state of democracy. But the word “loktantra" (democracy) was mistakenly written as “loktantar," drawing quick ridicule from BJP leaders.

“Loktantra hota hai, loktantar nahi," BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya wrote on X, highlighting the blunder with a pointed jab.
Images of the misspelt placard quickly went viral, with BJP supporters amplifying the error. The Congress has yet to issue a response, while some opposition MPs admitted they hadn’t noticed the mistake at the time.
Opposition MPs displayed posters and placards during a protest against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.
Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi also took part in the demonstration, lending her support to the Opposition’s stand.
