Mumbai, 10/4: The ruling Shiv Sena has become “pseudo-secular” as a worker from that party has printed a calendar in Urdu in which founder Bal Thackeray is addressed as “janab”, Maharashtra BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis said on Sunday.
He was talking to reporters while campaigning for Kolhapur North Assembly bypoll scheduled for April 12.
“The Shiv Sena has become pseudo-secular. However, we are not against any religion or their beliefs,” the former chief minister claimed. Fadnavis condemned the MSRTC staffers’ protest outside NCP chief Sharad Pawar’s home on April 8 but also attacked leaders from some parties for blaming the BJP for the incident.
