Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray lashed out at his BJP detractors on Tuesday, even as he downplayed his ally, Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) president Prakash Ambedkar’s recent visit to Aurangzeb’s tomb. In a veiled jibe, Mr. Thackeray noted that even stalwart BJP leader L.K. Advani had bowed before the tomb of Pakistan’s founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi had gone to Pakistan to eat cake on occasion of then-Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif’s birthday.
Speaking at the Sena Bhawan in Mumbai’s Dadar area, the Sena (UBT) chief said that some parties wanted people to be stuck in history and foment riots in the name of Aurangzeb or something else, as it suited them ahead of elections.
