The Shiv Sena today stepped up its attack against the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) over north Indian migrants in Mumbai, saying the latter should not intervene in Mumbai’s affairs.
Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray, in a statement, said: “If the RSS is so fond of Hindi, it should teach it in south India. It should act to stop north Indians being targeted in Assam.” Thackeray has reacted sharply over RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s recent statement that Mumbai belonged to all Indians. The RSS also said its volunteers would work to “prevent the spread of anti-north and anti-Hindi feelings.”
However, the Sena has taken the RSS head on and claimed that it was only because of the party’s struggle that Marathi people have been able to survive in Mumbai.
