BJP MP Manoj Tiwari cries foul, says did not call Aamir Khan 'traitor'

BJP MP Manoj Tiwari has reportedly called Bollywood actor Aamir Khan a 'deshdrohi' (traitor) during a meet of parliamentary standing committee for tourism, culture and transport.

"It is good that Aamir Khan has been taken out of the (Incredible India) campaign. He is a traitor, he should be thrown out," the BJP MP from North East Delhi was quoted as saying in several media reports.

This morning he however denied making such remarks against the 'Mr Perfectionist' saying 'efforts were being made by opponents to tarnish his clean image'.
