Mumbai: Shiv Sena had hardly hit out at Hyderabad based All-India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) party and said Owaisi brothers (MP Asaduddin Owaisi and MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi) are poisoning the mind of Muslims. Sena not only criticize AIMIM and Owaisi brothers but it also demand for strict action by Maharashtra Government against them.
In an editorial of its mouthpiece Saamana, Sena said, “The Owaisi brothers (MP Asaduddin and MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi) are in the habit of conceiving and spreading fundamentalist ideas. Both of them have poisoned the minds of Muslims in the country. After achieving success in Nanded Municipal Corporation, they now want to spread their wings to the Marathwada region.”
Notify that Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray had attacked in an apparent reference to AIMIM and said, “Forces which are dangerous for Hindus have raised their heads in the recent Assembly polls.”
Backing former Union Home Minister and senior Congress leader Sushil Kumar Shinde’s daughter Praniti’s comments seeking a ban on the outfit, the Sena said people should come forward and support her.
Sena said, “Praniti Shinde has only conveyed the sentiments of the people of India. Only Shiv Sena has been against the working style of AIMIM. Now even the Congress is speaking against the party, which is admirable.”
It also said, “The AIMIM has won two seats in the assembly polls and won second or third place in 14 constituencies across the state. This has emboldened them. (Devendra) Fadnavis government should take strict action against this party. Shinde has made her stance very clear, which cannot be ignored. Shiv Sena will stand firmly behind her.”
