New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday refuted the allegation leveled by the Congress that the main accused in the murder case of tailor Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur was a BJP member.

Earlier in the day, Congress media department head Pawan Khera and other party leaders shared photos showing Riaz Attari — an accused in the killing of a Udaipur tailor — with some local BJP leaders of Udaipur. The killer of Kanhaiya Lal, Riyaz Attari is a member of the BJP, Khera tweeted.

He also tweeted a picture from a Facebook post to allege that a BJP leader had described Riyaz Attari as a party worker.

Through the post, Khera linked Attari with BJP leaders – Irshad Chainwala and Mohammad Tahir and said claimed that Riyaz often participated in the programs of state BJP leaders.

However, IT cell chief Amit Malviya rejected Congress claims as fake news.

Replying to a tweet by Congress leader Renuka Choudhary, Malviya said that the Udaipur murderers were not members of the BJP and the Congress should stop fooling around with terror and national security.

I am not surprised that you are peddling Fake News. The Udaipur murderers WERNT members of the BJP. Their attempt to infiltrate was like the LTTE assassins attempt to enter the Congress to kill Rajiv Gandhi. Congress should stop fooling around with terror and national security, Malviya tweeted.

BJP Minority Morcha chief in Rajasthan Mohammad Sadiq Khan also dismissed the claim, saying the photo cannot be held as a proof to show he is a party member.

Anyone can have a photo with any leader. It does not mean that he is a member of the BJP, Sadiq told reporters.

He further said, He might have gone to some program of the party to carry out a recce and got photos clicked with local leaders. Since it is a normal trend to upload photos with leaders or celebrities on Facebook and other social media platforms, he might have also uploaded the photo but it does not mean that he is a BJP member.
