‘Uddhav Thackeray is leader of Aurangzeb Fan Club’: says Amit Shah
Amit Shah in Maharashtra
PUNE: Union home minister Amit Shah on Sunday launched an all out attack on former Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray, calling him the leader of “Aurangzeb Fan Club.”
Attacking the Shiv Sena (UBT) chief, Shah said, “Uddhav Thackeray is sitting with those who sought clemency for 1993 Mumbai serial blasts convict Yakub Memon.”
“Who is the Aurangzeb fan club? Those who serve biryani to (26/11 terror attack convict) Kasab, those who seek clemency for Yakub Memon, those who give (controversial Islamic preacher) Zakir Naik a messenger of peace award and those who support the (banned Islamist outfit) PFI. Uddhav Thackeray should be ashamed of sitting with these people,” Shah asserted.
The Union minister also mounted a scathing attack on opposition stalwart and NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar and dubbed him as “sargana” (ringleader) of corruption in the country. The NCP (SP) hit back at his barb saying it is the BJP which has “legitimised” corruption by incorporating tainted leaders in the saffron fold.
“They accuse political leaders of corruption, and then once those who they accuse join BJP, they are all given a clean chit. This is the BJP’s washing machine process of legitimising corruption,” NCP (SP) national spokesperson Clyde Crasto stated.
