Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray justified the party라이브 바카라 decision to vote against the Waqf bill in Parliament, stating that the primary opposition was to the BJP-led government라이브 바카라 hypocrisy and corruption in grabbing Muslim properties and handing them to their wealthy industrialist friends.
“Our opposition is not against the bill,” Thackeray said addressing a press conference in Mumbai. He praised the bill for certain reasonable clauses and said the party wanted to suggest amendments over the inclusion of Hindu members on the proposed board. “But the way BJP leaders were fawning over Muslims…it would make even Jinnah feel ashamed,” he said.
Thackeray said it was not clear if the Waqf bill was against or for the welfare of the Muslims. “Leaders of the BJP and its alliance partners gave lengthy speeches emphasising that the bill would help poor Muslims and Muslim women…I wish to ask them if you are so concerned about the Muslim community, then does it mean you have left Hindutva ?”
The Shiv Sena (UBT) faction's opposition to the bill has sparked intense criticism of Thackeray in Maharashtra, with many taking a jibe at him and referring to him with the Muslim honorific of "janaab.” Leaders of the Shiv Sena (Shinde) faction and the BJP slammed the party라이브 바카라 move stating it was against the ideology of Sena founder Bal Thackeray.
However, Thackeray said that his father was never against Muslims, nor ever said all Muslims were ‘anti-nationals.’ When Sena was in power in 1995, Bal Thackeray allowed Muslims to hold a large religious function on the grounds of the Bandra-Kurla Complex, he said. “You (BJP) talk about Bal Thackeray라이브 바카라 Hindutva…but all the speeches of BJP leaders in the Parliament were about protecting the interests and welfare of Muslim people…why did you (Shinde Sena) keep mum then.”
Thackeray slammed the BJP for constantly raking up communal issues and creating tensions between Hindus and Muslims. “The BJP should once and for all clear its stance on Muslims. If the BJP does not want Muslims then it should remove the green colour from the (national) flag or else stop this jumlabaazi.”
