Sena: BJP govt raiding opponents while enemies occupies land

Mumbai: The Shiv Sena on Friday slammed the central government, saying that while the Chinese army took control of the vast tracts of land in Ladakh and separatists raised their flags, the ruling BJP was content raiding its opponents.

 The party also said that on the occasion of the 75th anniversary celebrations of Independence, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah should show courage by visiting Kashmir "swallowed" by Pakistan. They should also take along Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde, rebel MLAs Uday Samant, Dada Bhuse and Deepak Kesarkar, who have found a new "vigour" of Hindutva. This will set an example, it said.

 "The Chinese army has entered Ladakh and taken control of 38,000 square kilometres of land and separatists are raising their flag in Kashmir, while the ruling party is feeling good by resorting to raids on opponents and arresting them," the party said in an editorial in its mouthpiece 'Saamana'.    -PTI
