New Delhi, April 30 (IANS) A controversial poster featuring jailed Kashmiri separatist leader Yasin Malik and former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and 'urging people to vote for Congress' was taken down by Delhi Police on Tuesday.


The poster was put up in the Mandi House roundabout area.


“Vote for Congress to support freedom of speech and release of Yasin Malik,” read the poster.


There was no mention of the printer's name on the poster.


A senior police officer said they had removed the poster from the area and no similar posters were detected elsewhere.
