Noted Marathi stage and film actor Sharad Ponkshe was today target of a diatribe by Mumbai BJP president Asish Shelar over his remarks about RSS.
"Sharad Ponkshe joined Shiv Sena after being in RSS for a long time. He is free. But hope he acknowledges what he got from RSS," Shelar said.
The BJP leader was reacting to comments by the actor during an interaction at the all Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Natya Sammelan (National Drama Meet) which concluded yesterday in neighbouring Thane city.
"They teach you to use sticks in RSS but when it comes to fighting, they take 'baudhik' (intellectual discourse)," Ponkshe had said.
"Ponkshe did a childish analysis of RSS," Shelar said.
