BJP National Secretary shares morphed photo of Modi with Ashish Nehra believing it to be Rishi Sunak
New Delhi: BJP National Secretary of the OBC wing of the party, Dr. Parthasarathi on Wednesday became the subject of trolling and memes on the internet after he edited a picture of PM Modi interacting with former UK PM and pasted former Indian cricketer Ashish Nehra’s picture instead of UK’s latest Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to show Modi interacting with Sunak.
In a tweet, the BJP leader shared four photos including three pictures of Rishi Sunak. The fourth picture however was edited intentionally to show PM Modi in conversation with Rishi Sunak.
The photo was, however, wrongly morphed and a picture of Ashish Nehra was pasted instead of Rishi Sunak.
The actual photo, however, was of PM Modi in conversation with former PM of the UK David Cameron during his visit to London. The photo was clicked at Parliament Square in the UK in November 2015. The picture is available on Alarmy.com and can be accessed by clicking here.
“This Diwali is really very special. Not only in Ayodhya the history of Deepotsav is being written but in Britain also A new history is being created by #RishiSunak of Indian origin. @RishiSunak will be the new Prime Minister of Britain. Best wishes and congratulations .” (sic) Dr. Parthasarathi wrote in his tweet.
The tweet was, however, deleted later but several users on the internet had saved it by then. AltNews co-founder and journalist Mohammed Zubair shared one of the screenshots of the tweet.

Will SC conduct further inquiry, asks Surjewala after Pegasus spyware case verdict in US
New Delhi, Dec 22: Congress general secretary Randeep Surjewala on Sunday claimed that the Pegasus spyware case verdict in the US proved how 300 WhatsApp numbers of Indians were targeted and asked if the Supreme Court would now conduct a further inquiry in view of the judgment.
Surjewala shared a media report which said that, for the first time, a court in the US had held Israel's NSO Group liable for its intrusive spyware Pegasus.
"The Pegasus spyware case verdict proves how 300 WhatsApp numbers of Indians were targeted in the illegal spyware racket," Surjewala said in a post on X.
He said it was time for the Narendra Modi government to answer who the 300 names targeted were.
"Who are the two Union ministers? Who are the three opposition leaders? Who is the constitutional authority? Who are the journalists? Who are the business persons? What information was retrieved by the BJP government and agencies? How was it used - misused and to what consequence?" the Congress leader asked.
He also questioned if appropriate criminal cases would now be lodged against the political executive or officers in the present government and the company owning NSO.
"Will the Supreme Court take note of the judgment of the US court in Meta v/s NSO? Will the Supreme Court proceed to make public the report of the Committee of Technical Experts on Pegasus Spyware, submitted to it in 2021-22?" Surjewala said.
Questioning if the Supreme Court would now conduct a further inquiry in view of the judgment affirming the targeting of 1,400 WhatsApp numbers, including 300 from India, he asked, "Will the Supreme Court now ask Meta to submit to itself the 300 names to meet the ends of justice in the Pegasus case?"
"Shouldn't Facebook (now Meta) now have responsibility to release the names of 300 Indians targeted by Pegasus, considering WhatsApp and Facebook have the biggest subscriber base in India and they have 'duty of care and disclosure' to its clients in India?" the Congress leader asked.
