An environmental demonstration in Delhi turned controversial when protesters raised pro-Maoist slogans at India Gate. Scientists for Society (SFS), a co-organizer of the anti-pollution protest, faced severe backlash after some demonstrators supported Maoist leader Madvi Hidma and attacked police with chilli spray. Despite SFS's attempts to distance itself from these actions, social media users condemned the organization for betraying public trust and hijacking a legitimate environmental cause.
