Mumbai, Aug 9 (UNI) The Shiv Sena on Sunday alleged that the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is politicising the Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput suicide case by linking a state minister for political gains.
MP Sanjay Raut in a strong column in the party newspaper “Saamana” said this was a conspiracy of the BJP, with the help of a section of the media, to malign the state government of Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.
“One TV channel uses derogatory, defamatory and threatening language against the CM… This has distressed many, including Nationalist Congress Party president Sharad Pawar. The section of media has support of the Opposition party, which seeks to destablise the government, and Pawar asked me what action the government has initiated over the disrespect meted to Thackeray who holds a constitutional post,” Mr Raut said.
