Just in | Raj Thackeray on postponing his #Ayodhya visit: "A trap was laid out for me. False cases were to have been slapped on #MNS workers had they accompanied me. But I did not fall for this trap as I did not want my MNS activists to languishing in jails there." | @ShoumojitB
Targeting #BJP MP Brij Bhushan Singh, who had opposed Mr. Thackeray's visit, the MNS chief said: "Why have certain people awakened to the fact after 14-15 years that I must seek an apology for the alleged mistreatment of north Indians?"
Targeting #NCP chief Sharad Pawar, Mr. Thackeray questioned why Mr. Pawar thought Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb to be "a Sufi saint."
Dubbing the Shiv Sena's Hindutva as "utterly hollow," he censured the ruling MVA govt. over its inaction following #AIMIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi's 'reverential' visit to Aurangzeb's tomb.
