Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday warned the ruling BJP in Maharashtra not to lecture him and his party on Hindutva. 

Without taking any names, Thackeray said those who have stolen the party and symbol can never be “original Shiv Sena party chief".

“Despite the mud and rain, you all have come here; that shows who has the support of people," Thackeray said during his rally at Shivaji Park in Mumbai’s Dadar.

He asked if the same BJP that accuses him of “forgetting Hindutva" by “joining hands with Muslims" will question RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat over his meetings with Muslim leaders.

“…The RSS chief has conducted meetings with Muslims leaders to maintain peace between the two communities. I now want to ask BJP leaders what they have to say about this? Will you question Bhagwat as well?" he asked. “If BJP is trying to teach us Hindutva, then don’t dare. I am warning the BJP today – don’t you dare to talk against us on the issue of Hindutva."

Reiterating his “deshbhakti-deshdrohi" comments over the India-Pakistan match controversy, the forme Maharashtra chief minister said comparing a cricket match to a military action like ‘Operation Sindoor’ is “unfortunate".

“The BJP should stop this drama, where the father talks against Pakistan and the son asks the team to play with Pakistan, which killed our people in Pahalgam," he added.
