"I want to ask RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat whether he had expected this kind of behaviour of BJP seen today," Uddhav Thackeray said.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday said that because of the BJP, the country had to face an embarrassing situation at the international level as it was "brought to its knees and was forced to apologise" by the Gulf countries over the controversial remarks made by a BJP spokesperson on Prophet Mohammad.
Addressing a rally, his first outside Mumbai after his spine surgery in November last year, Mr Thackeray also attacked the BJP saying that while inflation is on the rise and the rupee is on a downward slide, there is a concern to find under which mosque there is a Shivling.
He also slammed the Centre over the recent targeted killings in Kashmir, and said instead of harassing the leaders of Maharashtra's ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) through the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED), raids should be conducted there.
On the controversial comments made by former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma for the comments made against Prophet Mohammad, he said, "The Middle East and the Arab countries brought our country to its knees and forced to apologise. What led to this? India has to apologise. What has the country done? It is the BJP and its spokespersons that have committed the crime."
