Reacting to Shivsena Party President Uddhav Thackeray's remark on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, in which he compared him with item girl Rakhi Sawant in a Saamna editorial, Janata Dal United (JD-U) leader Sabir Ali on Friday said that he condemned Thackeray's comment, and added that there should be some decency maintained while giving opinion about others.

"He should not have said something like this. Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) were chosen by the people and everyone has their own style and way of working. I strongly condemn Uddhav Thackeray's statement," said Ali.

"It is wrong to comment on someone like that. People should maintain some decency while commenting on others. The country will not tolerate such kinds of comments," he said.

Uddhav has claimed that Rakhi Sawant would have been a better administrator than Kejriwal, and those who criticised her should now felicitate Sawant.

He had further stated that if, this is what the AAP culture is, then they should agree that they want to create anarchy in the country and that there are anti national element behind it.
