Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 6 : Bharatiya Janata Party leader Shaina NC on Monday said that Congress has no other issues left for the Lok Sabha elections and this is the reason why it has resorted to targeting Ujjwal Nikam who is widely respected in Mumbai.
"They have stooped to such a level that they have raised a question mark against the Public Prosecutor who hanged Kasab, who is being saluted by the whole of Mumbai. This shows that Congress has been wiped out in this election and they have no issues left," Shaina NC told ANI.
Earlier today, Ujjwal Nikam, 26/11 prosecutor and BJP candidate from Mumbai North Central Lok Sabha constituency hit out at Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar on Monday for his remarks in connection with the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack.
Wadettiwar, the Leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra Assembly, on Sunday, stirred a controversy by claiming that former Mumbai ATS chief Hemant Karkare was "not killed by terrorists during the 26/11 attack but by a police official close to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh"
Nikam dismissed the claims by the Congress leader calling them "baseless" and alleged that the latter just wants to do "Goebbels' propaganda" making references to Joseph Goebbels who was Hitler's aide and Nazi Party chief propagandist.
"What allegations are you making? What will Pakistan say? Pakistan has never denied this. because we produced judicial proof. But our man is doing politics. You just want to do propaganda - that too Goebbels' propaganda. This doesn't defame Nikam. It defames you," Nikam said while speaking to ANI on Monday.
Meanwhile, BJP on Monday filed another complaint against Vijay Wadettiwar for his comments on 26/11. Maharashtra BJP has demanded an enquiry by the Election Commission and urged it to take action on Wadettiwar for violation of the Model code of conduct. Mumbai BJP had already lodged a formal complaint against Vijay Wadettiwar.
Shiv Sena has criticised Wadettiwar's remarks saying that the Congress leader was making disrespectful remarks about the valiant police who sacrificed their lives during the 26/11 terrorist attack in Mumbai.
Hemant Karkare was the chief of the Mumbai Anti-Terrorism Squad. He was killed in action during the 2008 Mumbai attacks. In 2009, he was posthumously given the Ashoka Chakra.
