In a sharp attack against the BJP, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray said on Thursday that ink attacks carried out by his party workers did not defame India, but the lynching of a person in Dadri did.
“What is this uproar over beef? If you are so concerned about people eating beef in India, why don’t you declare this country a Hindu Rashtra? Why don’t you implement Uniform Civil Code? No one will eat beef ever in this country and the entire chaos will come to halt,” he said, without naming the BJP, in his annual Dasara rally speech in Mumbai.
“Incidents like Dadri in which a man was killed over a false assumption of eating beef defames this country more than the ink attack,” he said, reiterating the Sena’s anti-Pakistan stand and supporting the ink attack against the chairperson of Observer Research Foundation, Sudheendra Kulkarni.
‘We will not change stand’
Mr. Thackeray on Thursday asked the BJP what its true attitude to the Dalits was. Criticising Union Minister V.K. Singh for his statement on the killing of Dalits, Mr. Thackeray asked: “If this is your mentality towards Dalits, why did you take the initiative to build Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar’s memorial at the Indu Mill.”
Warning the BJP, he said his party would never change its stand whether it shared power or not. He also hit out at the BJP indirectly on the Ram temple issue. Mandir wahin banayenge par tareekh nahi batayange [We will make the temple but won’t tell the date].” Mr. Thackeray raised the Hindutva pitch right through his 40-minute speech. However, there was no mention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
