Uddhav Thackeray behind ‘beautification’ of 1993 Mumbai blasts convict Yakub Memon’s grave, claims BJP, demands apology from former CM

Maharashtra BJP president Chandrashekhar K. Bawankule on Thursday, September 8, 2022, accused former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray for beautification of 1993 Mumbai serial blasts convict Yakub Memon’s grave and demanded an unconditional apology from the former. 

“The beautification of the terrorist’s grave was taken place during the COVID-19 pandemic. He (Mr. Thackeray) had no time for the common man and the Maha Vikas Aghadi government had helped with the beautification of the grave. This is one among many incidents, which exposed that Mr. Thackeray, had compromised with Hindutva to protect his position as Chief Minister,” Mr. Bawankule said.
