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.

Amritsar (PTI): Former president Ram Nath Kovind on Friday said that with digital transformation, economic reforms and a strong focus on the ease of doing business, India is moving towards becoming a global economic powerhouse.

He was speaking after inaugurating the 19th edition of the Punjab International Trade Expo (PITEX) in Amritsar.

The former president said that this 19th edition of PITEX is being organised at a time when India is recognised as one of the fastest-growing large economies in the world.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the event organised by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) the former president, while referring to Punjab, said the state is a living example of courage, sacrifice and enterprise.

"The spiritual light of Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) inspires peace and humanity across the world. The heritage of Punjab is deep and inspiring," Kovind said, according to a statement issued by the PITEX.

The former president congratulated the PHDCCI for hosting the 19th edition of PITEX and suggested that the chamber should expand PITEX outside Punjab.

He proposed that a similar event should also be held in New Delhi.
