Maharashtra BJP leader Vinod Tawde Tuesday attacked MNS' Raj Thackeray and questioned whether he wanted to become a hero for Pakistan by doubting the February 26 IAF air strike on a terror camp in the neighbouring country.

State Education minister Tawde also hit out at Thackeray for taking a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"By raising doubts on the impact of the air strike, I wonder whether he (Raj Thackeray) wishes to be a hero of Pakistan," Tawde said.

Taking off from Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis' statement that Thackeray was parroting lines given to him by NCP president Sharad Pawar, Tawde quipped, "A parrot is green in colour. Does this green resemble the one on Pakistan's national flag?"
