Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray has demanded that the BJP led NDA government should inform Parliament what steps it is taking to protect Hindus in Bangladesh, where minorities have faced violent attacks.
Thackeray slammed the BJP at a press conference saying its Hindutva is only for votes.
The former CM referred to a notice issued by the Railways to demolish a Hanuman temple outside Dadar station and said a “fatwa” (edict) has been issued to bring down the 80-year-old shrine built by loaders.
Taking a dig at the BJP over its “Ek hai toh safe hai” (united, we are safe) slogan, widely used during campaigning for the last month’s assembly polls, he said even temples are not safe under the regime of the national party.
Rebutting Thackrey, state BJP president Chandrashekhar Bawankule said those who abandoned Hindutva for power and allied with the Congress are now talking about the safety of Hindus.
