Uddhav Thackeray, Rohit Pawar hit back after BJP Minister's 'terrorist' remark

Mumbai, July 7 (UNI) Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray lashed out today against statements made by Maharashtra Minister of Cultural affairs Ashish Shelar and BJP MP Nishikant Dubey.

“These are the killers of Maharashtra and Marathi. If any BJP member is comparing a Marathi person who agitates for his rights with the terrorists who struck Pahalgam, then they are the killers of Marathi. So did the terrorists of Pahalgam join the BJP? They should tell us. Where did the terrorists go? Are they living in the houses of those who accused us? We should be ashamed. You cannot even save Hindus and on top of that, you take the side of those who do injustice to Marathi people. It is the misfortune of Maharashtra that such incompetent people are ruling Maharashtra,” Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray told media persons, reacting to BJP leader Ashish Shelar's statement comparing those who beat up people in the name of protecting Marathi language to "terrorists who struck Pahalgam".
