The BJP has written to the Election Commission of India seeking action against the Congress and its leader Vijay Wadettiwar for allegedly peddling lies and defaming the saffron party's Mumbai North Central nominee and lawyer Ujjwal Nikam.
Mr. Wadettiwar, the leader of opposition in the Maharashtra legislative assembly, purportedly called Mr. Nikam an "anti-national" and accused him of hiding the information that then Maharashtra ATS chief Hemant Karkare was not killed by terrorist Ajmal Kasab's bullet during the 26/11 terror attack, but fell to a bullet of a policeman affiliated to the RSS.
His allegations were based on the book 'Who Killed Karkare' written by retired police officer SM Mushriff.
