Savukku Shankar, an online troll masquerading as an ‘investigative journalist’, who is known for his abusive tweets, called President of India Ram Nath Kovind a ‘slave dog’.
Tweeting a picture that quoted President Ram Nath Kovind which also had an image showing the bruised back of a Sikh man, Savukku Shankar said “Is this the gratitude? You slave dog”.
Savukku Shankar had indirectly implied that the Sikh man was beaten up during the siege that happened on Republic Day. However, this picture of a Sikh man with bruises on his back was was found out to be an on old one. A user named Sikh Sagarsh had in June 2019 tweeted a Sikh auto driver along with his son were allegedly beaten in Mukherjee Nagar.
This tweet of Savukku Shankar, who has a verified Twitter handle, is now being called out for two reasons – for disrespecting the President of India and for peddling fake news.
It is to be noted that the foul mouthed ‘journalist’ has made derogatory remarks on President Ram Nath Kovind, who is of Dalit origin, hence inviting action under Schedule Caste and Schedule Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
This is not the first that the foul mouthed ‘journalist’ who identifies himself as a ‘Periyarist’ has made derogatory references to a person in office.
Earlier, he had called Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman as ‘Oorgai Maami’, a casteist and a sexist reference to her Brahmin and woman identity.
