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”

Hemant Karkare killed by RSS-linked cop, not Kasab: Maharashtra LoP Vijay Wadettiwar
BJP writes to ECI for action against Cong leader Wadettiwar for 'defaming' Ujjwal Nikam
Mumbai, May 5: The BJP has written to the Election Commission of India seeking action against Congress and the opposition leader, Vijay Wadettiwar, for allegedly peddling lies and defaming its Mumbai North Central nominee and ex-26/11 prosecution lawyer Ujjwal Nikam.
Wadettiwar, the leader of the opposition in the Maharashtra legislative assembly, purportedly called Nikam an "anti-national" and accused him of hiding the information that then Maharashtra ATS chief Hemant Karkare wasn't killed by Kasab's bullet during the 26/11 terror attack, but fell to a bullet of a policeman affiliated to RSS.
His allegations were based on the book "Who Killed Karkare" written by retired police officer SM Mushriff.
"As a responsible leader, the opposition leader should desist from making such comments that can help the enemy nation," Nikam said.
Terming Wadettiwar's statements as "false and not based on facts", Mumbai BJP president Ashish Shekar claimed they were aimed at defaming Ujjwal Nikam and inciting emotions.
"We have written to the Election Commission of India seeking action against Wadettiwar who is a star campaigner (of Congress) and also against the Congress party for peddling lies," he added.
Shelar further said (Ajmal) Kasab was sentenced to death for killing innocent people after following a due process of law.
Kasab was the lone terrorist who was captured alive by Mumbai Police during the 26/11 terror attack by Pakistani terrorists in which at least 166 people were killed and several others were injured.
Shelar wondered whether Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray supported the statement made by the Congress leader.
A former special public prosecutor, Nikam had represented the state in high-profile cases like the Mumbai serial bomb blasts and the 2008 Mumbai terror attack.
He is making his political foray from Mumbai North Central seat on a BJP ticket and is pitted against city Congress chief Varsha Gaikwad.
