Sudheendra Kulkarni like Ajmal Kasab: Shiv Sena
Mumbai, Oct 13 (IBNS) After smearing him with ink the Shiv Sena has compared BJP leader and columnist Sudheendra Kulkarni to 26/11 terrorist Ajmal Kasab.
"If there are people like Kulkarni here there is no need for Pakistan to send the likes of Kasab. Kulkarni can do the damage of 100 Kasabs," the Sena has said in an editorial in its mouthpiece Saamna on Tuesday.
On Monday, Sena activists threw black paint on Kulkarni, who had rejected the party's demand that former Pakistan foreign minister Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri's book launch be called off.
The Shiv Sena says it is opposed to any engagement with Pakistan as long as the country supports terror.
"Sudheendra Kulkarni proudly showed off his black face and his shamelessness. Patriots blackened the face of Pakistan's chamchas (sycophants)," the Sena said.
It added that the "real threat" to the nation was from the likes of Kulkarni, who were "killing patriotism."
The Sena, which is an important partner of the ruling alliance with the BJP, has also criticised the ally for for providing security to Kasuri on Monday.
The Shiv Sena act was condemned by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who accused the regional power house of bringing the state a bad name.
"We cannot endorse Mr Kasuri, but can't let our state turn into a banana republic," the chief minister said.
But undeterred, the Sena shot back in the editorial :"By praising Jinnah, Kulkarni dug a grave for BJP. LK Advani was very embarrassed then, Devendra Fadnavis should be careful."
