Sharad Pawar Leader Of Corruption, Says Shah; Takes 'Aurangzeb Fan Club' Jibe at Uddhav
Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a scathing attack on former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday, labeling him as the head of the 'Aurangzeb Fan Club.' Shah also criticized NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar, calling him the ‘sargana’ (ringleader) who has entrenched corruption in the country.
Shah accused Thackeray of consistently aligning with questionable figures, saying, "Who is the Aurangzeb fan club? Those who serve biryani to (26/11 terror attack convict) Kasab, those who seek pardon for Yakub Memon, those who give (controversial Islamic preacher) Zakir Naik a messenger of peace award and those who support the (banned Islamist outfit) PFI. Uddhav Thackeray should be ashamed of sitting with these people.”
He asserted that this ‘Aurangzeb fan club’ cannot secure this country. “Only the Bharatiya Janata Party can ensure the country's safety. The BJP is the only party capable of securing Maharashtra,” Home Minister added.
