Raj Thackeray Says, “Everyone Asked Nupur Sharma For An Apology But I Support Her”
Mumbai, 23rd August 2022: Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) President Raj Thackeray has supported Nupur Sharma, who made a controversial statement on Prophet Mohammad. Raj Thackeray, while talking to India Today, said that everyone had asked her to apologize but I support her.
Raj Thackeray said, “What Nupur Sharma had said, Zakir Naik had also said the same thing earlier. No one had demanded an apology from Naik.”
He also targeted AIMIM MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi and said that he had made objectionable remarks on Hindu gods and goddesses many times.
During the last week of May, Nupur Sharma commented on Prophet Mohammad during a debate on a TV channel. As a result, there was a lot of ruckus about this and there were demonstrations across the country.
Raj Thackeray also talked about his cousin Uddhav Thackeray. Regarding breaking the alliance with BJP, he said that Uddhav Thackeray did this and he could get the post of Chief Minister only for two and a half years.
Raj Thackeray said, “When I was in Shiv Sena, Balasaheb Thackeray had decided that the party which has more MLAs will have its chief minister. How can you change things that have already been decided? During the election campaign itself, when Narendra Modi and Amit Shah had said that Devendra Fadnavis would be the CM, why did the Shiv Sena not object.”
