Mumbai:
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut has welcomed Interior Minister Amit Shah’s comment that Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari could have chosen his words better while writing to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray about the reopening. of places of worship in the state.
One television channel quoted Mr. Raut as saying that with Mr. Shah’s statement, the Shiv Sena has put an end to the issue.
Koshyari recently wrote to the prime minister about the reopening of places of worship in the state and asked if the Shiv Sena president had “suddenly turned secular”, sparking a war of words between the governor and the prime minister.
Shah told a news channel on Saturday that “(Bhagat Singh) Koshyari could have chosen his words better.”
Raut said Amit Shah is the country’s interior minister and speaks responsibly and cautiously.
The Raj Bhavan and the governor’s office is a constitutional institution and is under the jurisdiction of the Interior Ministry, he said.
“The governor’s letter followed by the prime minister’s response was an unavoidable controversy and we have not started it. But we are satisfied with the position of the Union Interior Minister and we thank him for understanding the reason for our anger,” Raut said.
Raut rejected speculation that Amit Shah was being soft on Shiv Sena, a year when he severed his ties with the BJP.
“There is nothing political. What (Amit) Shah spoke was in line with the Constitution of India,” he said.
On the interior minister’s comments that the death case of actor Sushant Singh Rajput should have been handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) earlier, Raut asked: “Why should that have been done when the Mumbai police are able to investigate it?? “
“Before the investigation was completed, the case went to the CBI. What has the CBI found? The truth will come out,” said the Shiv Sena leader.
Raut also said that he agreed with Amit Shah’s observation that drugs and Bollywood should not be seen together.
“It (drugs) is a global threat that must be nipped in the bud,” said Shiv Sena’s deputy.
