BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra attacked the Maharashtra government, protesting against sticking pictures of Macron on the streets in Mumbai. He wrote, “India stands with France today. The PM of India has pledged to fight along with France against the terrorism that is happening in France. Then why insult the French Head of State on the streets of Mumbai? ”
