Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut and former Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis
Two days after the former Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis, said that one day Karachi will become part of IndiaShiv Sena’s leader Sanjay Raut on Monday criticized the Opposition leader in the state saying that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) should first work to regain Kashmir, which is occupied by Pakistan, and then talk about Karachi.
“First, bring the Kashmir which is occupied by Pakistan. We will go to Karachi later, ”the ANI quoted Raut as saying.
On Saturday, Fadnavis had said: “We believe in ‘akhand Bharat’ (undivided India). We believe that one day Karachi will become part of India. “
Fadnavis made the remarks in response to a media question about a Seine leader’s objection to the name ‘Karachi Sweets’, a 60-year-old store in Bandra. Last week, the leader of the Seine had asked his owner remove “Karachi” from his name.
After the incident, the store covered his name with a newspaper. (Express photo: Ganesh Shirsekar)
A video of the exchange between the two was captured on camera in which Nandgaokar was heard asking the owner to change the word ‘Karachi’ to ‘something in Marathi’. “You have to, we are giving you time. Change ‘Karachi’ to something in Marathi, ”Nandgaokar had said.
In response to the previous incident, Raut had clarified that the demand to change the name of the store is not the official position of the party. Raut took to Twitter and said: “Karachi Bakery and Karachi Sweets have been in Mumbai for the last 60 years. They have nothing to do with Pakistan. There is no point in asking now for their names to be changed. The demand to change his name is not Shiv Sena’s official position. “
Karachi is the largest city in Pakistan and the capital of the Pakistani province of Sindh.
