Terminated Aaj Tak journalist Shyam Meera Singh continues calling PM Modi “Shameless” on Twitter
Says PM Modi is even politicizing India’s hockey win at Tokyo Olympics
New Delhi: Former Aaj Tak journalist who was terminated by the India Today Group for his tweets criticizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and calling him a “Shameless Prime Minister” on Thursday once again tweeted calling PM Modi “Shameless” adding that he was right in saying it before.
On Thursday morning when Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted a congratulatory tweet for the Indian men’s hockey team on their Bronze Medal finish in Tokyo Olympics, Shyam Meera Singh replied saying the PM was even politicizing an Olympic win of the country.
Modi in his tweet while congratulated the hockey team on their win adding that this is “New India”, a term popularized by him and BJP to highlight the era post-2014 when the BJP government came to power in India.
“Happy India! Inspired India! Proud India! The spectacular victory of the hockey team in Tokyo is a proud moment for the entire nation. This is New India, India full of confidence. Many congratulations and best wishes to the hockey team again.” Modi’s Hindi tweet read.
Shyam Meera Singh replied to the tweet and reminded PM Modi that India had won Gold in Hockey at the Olympics in 1948, 1952, 1956, and 1964 too. He also questioned if Modi believed “old India” was weak.
“Was old India weak? The hockey in which you are calling getting bronze as 'New India'. In the same hockey, India has won gold in 1948, 1952, 1956, and 1964. But you are politicizing this too. I had rightly said ‘Shameless Prime Minister’” he replied.
प्रफुल्लित भारत! प्रेरित भारत! गर्वित भारत!

क्यों भाई? पुराना भारत क्या कमजोर था? जिस हॉकी में कांस्य मिलने को ‘नया भारत’ कह रहे हो. उसी हॉकी में भारत ने 1948, 1952, 1956, 1964 में गोल्ड जीता है. पर आपने यहाँ भी राजनीति घुसा दी. मैंने सही ही कहा था “Shameless Prime Minister”

Online fraud: Hotel chef from Udupi cheated of over Rs 1 lakh by WhatsApp contact
Udupi: Udupi City Police have registered a case of online fraud after a 62-year-old hotel chef was allegedly cheated of Rs 1.13 lakh by a woman who befriended him on WhatsApp, claiming to be based in London.
The victim, identified as Pandu Kariappa Poojary, a resident of Kuthpadi in Udupi, was working at a hotel in Mangaluru.
He reportedly came into contact with a woman identifying herself as Emilda William on WhatsApp. During their interactions, she told Poojary that she planned to start a cosmetics and hotel business in India and would meet him during a visit to Mangaluru.
On April 7, Emilda sent Poojary a flight ticket from London to Delhi via WhatsApp. The following day, Poojary received a phone call from a woman who informed him that Emilda had arrived at Delhi airport carrying a demand draft worth Rs 5 crore along with other items. The caller allegedly asked him to pay Rs 70,000.
Subsequently, Poojary also received a call from Emilda, who was reportedly crying and spoke about the situation. Believing the claims, he transferred a total of Rs 1,13,300 in phases using a scanner. He later realised that he had been cheated.
