“Support Those Who Have Dawood Links”: Shinde’s Jibe At Thackeray Camp

Sanjay Raut

Eknath Shinde claimed he hoisted the rebellion against “Dawood Links” backing and that he does not care about his life as long as it means saving Bal Thackeray’s Shiv Sena.

Mumbai: Dissident leader Eknath Shinde renewed his criticism of the Shiv Sena leadership on Sunday, speculating as to how the party could back someone with a close relationship to Dawood Ibrahim, who was responsible for the bombings that killed innocent Mumbai residents.

He said that he and other MLAs hoisted the revolt banner in protest of such backing and that he doesn’t care about dying in order to defend Bal Thackeray’s Shiv Sena. The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) minister Nawab Malik, who is incarcerated in connection with a money laundering case reportedly involving family of Dawood Ibrahim, was the subject of Shinde’s tweets from Sunday night.

Shinde’s reply also came in light to Shiv Sena MP leader Sanjay Raut who termed Shinde and the rebel camp as “bodies without souls”.

“How can Hinduhridaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray’s Shiv Sena support those who have a direct connection with Dawood who killed innocent Mumbaikars by carrying out Mumbai bomb blasts? We are taking this step to oppose this; Don’t care if this step leads us to the brink of death,” Shinde tweeted in Marathi.

The senior Shiv Sena leader stated in another tweet that they would consider their deaths to be lucky if they were to save the Shiv Sena and Bal Thackeray’s philosophy.

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut’s Twitter account was mentioned in Eknath Shinde’s tweets.

Eknath Shinde and other dissident MLAs were described earlier in the day by Sanjay Raut as “corpses without souls” that would be taken to the mortuary.

“We have learnt a lesson on whom to trust…. These are the bodies whose souls have died. Their mind is dead….40 bodies will come from Assam and will be sent directly to the morgue for post-mortem,” Sanjay Raut commented in reference to the rebel MLAs in Guwahati with Eknath Shinde while addressing Sena cadres.

ED Summons Sanjay Raut In Land Scam Case Amid Ongoing Political Crisis

ED has summoned Sanjay Raut in the Pravin Raut and land scam case amid the Maharashtra political crisis.

Mumbai: Sanjay Raut spokesperson of Shiv Sena has been called to appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Mumbai tomorrow for questioning in connection with an alleged money laundering case. Raut is one of the most vocal supporters of Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray during a rebellion within the party.

According to Team Thackeray, “pressure from ED, CBI, and other central agencies” is what caused the mutiny headed by Eknath Shinde.

Following the summons Sanjay Raut took to twitter and said “I just came to know that the ED has summoned me. Good ! There are big political developments in Maharashtra. We, Balasaheb’s Shivsainiks are fighting a big battle. This is a conspiracy to stop me. Even if you behead me, I won’t take the Guwahati route. Arrest me ! Jai Hind!”

In connection with the 1,034 crore Patra Chawl land scam case, the ED had attached Sanjay Raut’s properties in April. Then, Mr. Raut had stated, “I won’t be the one to experience fear. Sanjay Raut is a Shiv Sainik and a devotee of Balasaheb Thackeray. He has said, “Seize my property, shoot me, or send me to jail.””

A Rajya Sabha member named Mr. Raut claimed last week that the ED operated by the federal government had being abused against the Sena. He told reporters last Thursday, “Even we are under ED pressure, but we would continue to support Uddhav Thackeray.

“A true Balasaheb bhakt is not one who leaves the party in response to ED pressure. We are sincere devotees of Balasaheb “Mr. Raut went on to say that he swore allegiance to Bal Thackeray, the party’s founder and father of Uddhav Thackeray. Bal Thackeray has also been cited by rebel Eknath Shinde as his inspiration.
