Talking about the disturbing video of the May 4 sexual violence incident in Manipur, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray, taking aim at the BJP government said it is also “blind like King Dhritarashtra” of Hindu epic Mahabharata.
Mr. Thackeray said on Saturday, “Manipur is burning and what is the government doing about it? In Mahabharata, Draupadi was disrobed in front of Dhritarashtra, but he couldn’t do anything because he was blind. Just like him, the government [BJP-led] is also blind.”
“We got to know about those two women because of a video and Manipur’s Chief Minister said ‘such incidents take place a lot in Manipur’... That is shameful!” Mr. Thackeray said.
