No intolerance for Pak: Sena

Shiv Sena said Modi has demonstrated "huge tolerance" by shaking hands with his Pakistani counterpart Sharif

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has demonstrated "huge tolerance" by shaking hands with his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif, the Shiv Sena said in its mouthpiece Saamana.

The two had a brief meeting in Paris on Monday on the sidelines of the United Nations climate summit during which they were photographed greeting each other before sitting down for a conversation.

"Even if the other (party) raises (its) hand, we should fold ours. This is our tolerance and Modi has displayed it," an editorial in the newspaper said. The editorial added that "now nobody has to leave the country on the pretext that there is an atmosphere of intolerance".
