Taking to the comment section of the post, Menon clarified that the clip had been taken from his promotions for the web series "Special Ops" and was "edited and "used without permission." "Please let it be noted that I have not acted in this ad. A clip from my "Special Ops" promotions has been edited and used without permission," read his comment, denying any role in the campaign. The video used by the Congress featured Menon's Special Ops character, Himmat Singh, asking viewers to join the campaign. The caption read, "Himmat Singh kuch keh rahe hain, jaldi se kar aao! Band karo (Himmat Singh is saying something, go quickly! Stop it)." https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNLwmBzztXn/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Meanwhile Congress' has intensfied its campaign of alleged"vote theft" in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
