Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray on Tuesday supported suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma over her remarks against Prophet Mohammad.

Controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik had said the same thing earlier but no one asked him to apologize, Thackeray said while addressing a meeting of MNS functionaries here. 바카라Nobody asked Naik for an apology,바카라 the MNS chief said.

Thackeray also slammed the 바카라Owaisi brothers바카라 (AIMIM leaders) for allegedly ridiculing the names of Hindu gods. No action has been taken against them, he said, using an abusive term while referring to them.

The MNS chief also taunted his estranged cousin and former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray over the latter바카라s claim that the BJP reneged on the promise of rotating the CM바카라s post after the 2019 Assembly elections in Maharashtra.

바카라When I was in Shiv Sena, Balasaheb (Thackeray) had decided that the party having more MLAs will have the CM post,바카라 he said.

바카라Also, during the election campaign, PM Narendra Modi and Amit Shah had publicly said that Devendra Fadnavis (present Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra) will be the CM. Why did you not object then instead of waiting for the poll results and going against the people바카라s mandate which was for the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance,바카라 he said.

Raj Thackeray said the late Shiv Sena founder had hugged him when he was about to leave that party.

바카라I had gone to meet Balasaheb. He knew I was not staying (in the Sena). He hugged me and said: Now you can go,바카라 the MNS chief recalled.

바카라I want to take Balasaheb바카라s ideology forward. It doesn바카라t matter if I don바카라t have the symbol (bow and arrow symbol of Shiv Sena),바카라 he said.
