Aug 11, 2024
Mumbai (Mahrashtra) [India], August 11 : Following an attack on Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray's convoy on Saturday, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut alleged that "Ahmad Shah Abdali (indirectly attacking Union Home Minister Amit Shah)" of Delhi is giving 'supari' to spread anarchy in Maharashtra.
"His (Uddhav Thackeray's) convoy was attacked at night. You are being made to do this. Ahmad Shah Abdali of Delhi is giving you 'supari' to spread anarchy in Maharashtra. You are being used. Your leaders take the 'supari' and stay silent, but you are made to fight against each other. This is not right for our state. I am not naming any party, but they are trying to mislead people as the Vidhan Sabha elections are approaching in Maharashtra," Raut claimed on Sunday.
Earlier on Saturday, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) workers hurled coconuts and cow dung at Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray's convoy.
Earlier, Anand Dubey criticized Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray, and demanded the resignation of Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister, Devendra Fadnavis, following an attack on Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray's convoy on Saturday.
Speaking to ANI, Dubey said, "Now we understand why Raj Thackeray and his party are called 'suparibaaz.' Uddhav Thackeray's convoy was attacked in Thane. Despite having Z-category security and being the son of Balasaheb Thackeray, if he is not safe in the state, how can they ensure the safety of ordinary people?"
Dubey also criticized the state government, stating, "This attack is a failure of the state government. The law and order situation has completely collapsed, and the home minister should resign."
MNS workers claim that it's in response to the incident on Friday where MNS chief Raj Thackeray's car was attacked with betel nuts and tomatoes.
Police have confirmed the incident and have detained over 20 people.
Raj Thackeray, the estranged cousin of the Sena (UBT) chief, was on a tour of central Maharashtra region.
Earlier on August 4, Uddhav Thackeray claimed that Amit Shah is a "political heir" of Ahmad Shah Abdali, the Afghan ruler who defeated the Marathas in the battle of Panipat.
Uddhav responded to the Union minister's remark, labelling him (Uddhav) as the head of the "Aurangzeb Fan Club.
