Ujjwal Nikam, a BJP candidate and former prosecutor in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, has questioned Congress politician Vijay Wadettiwar's recent comments about the incident. Wadettiwar, the Maharashtra Assembly's Leader of Opposition, stated that former Mumbai ATS chief Hemant Karkare was slain by a police official affiliated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

Nikam criticised Wadettiwar's allegations as "baseless" and compared them to "Goebbels' propaganda," alluding to Hitler's senior propagandist. He was outraged by Wadettiwar's charges, accusing him of demeaning Hemant Karkare's memory and casting doubt on the case's legal conclusions, reported ANI.
