Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag lashed out at a local political party in Rajasthan for claiming that the cricketer will address a gathering at an event in the poll-bound state. Taking to Twitter, the right-handed batsman thrashed a local political party named Rashtriya Loktantrik Party which published an advertisement in a local newspaper stating that Virender Sehwag will address the mass to promote the party at an election rally in Asind district of poll-bound Rajasthan.

In his tweet, Virender Sehwag clarified that he is currently in Dubai for the ongoing T10 league and never had a conversation with the political party members over their claim that the former cricketer will campaign for them in the said event.

Calling it a ‘shameless lie’, Sehwag wrote on Twitter saying, “I am in Dubai & have had no communication with any of these guys. When these Liars can shamelessly lie in the name of their campaign & try to fool people, wonder how much they will fool people if by any chance they come to power.”
