Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray launched a scathing attack against the BJP, and its state and central leadership, daring the government to make Hindi mandatory in schools across the state.

Addressing party workers at Shanmukhananda Auditorium in Mumbai on Thursday, Uddhav stated that India needs a prime minister, as the BJP has a PM but the nation doesn’t. “The moment US President Trump called our prime minister, the latter became silent,” Uddhav said, adding that, like the PM, the country also doesn’t have home and defence ministers.

Further, Uddhav questioned how four terrorists entered the country and due to whose failure. “Those four terrorists have not been arrested. Where did they (read as terrorists) disappear? Hell, the sky or gone to the BJP? Only Dawood’s induction has left… all the others have been accepted into the BJP camp,” Thackeray said while addressing the 59th Foundation Day of the party. In 1966, Balasaheb Thackeray had formed Shiv Sena to fight injustice against the Marathi community and Maharashtra.
