He referred to his book '2014: The Election that Changed India', saying "Yes, incident which Arnab speaks of did happen. Only he wasn't there, some of us who actually were on ground zero were! (Read my 2014 book)"

"Fekugiri has its limits, but seeing this, I feel sorry for my profession, " he tweeted.

Singh tweeted, "Astonishing revelation considering Arnab wasn't in Gujarat when this incident took place with @sardesairajdeep.
