Muslim community is coming with us: Thackeray
Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray said, the Muslim community is coming with us. I ask him, don’t you know that I am the party chief of Shiv Sena and the son of ‘Hindu Hriday Samrat’. I am one. I am a staunch Hindu myself, so why are you coming with me? It is said that we have come to know that there is a difference between your Hindutva and BJP’s Hindutva. Your Hindutva burns the hearth of our house and BJP’s Hindutva burns our house. Ram in our heart and work in our hands, this is our Hindutva, and we are patriotic Hindus.
