Shiv Sena hard on Kalam about Afzal issue

Mumbai: Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray has been busy holding rallies ahead of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) polls.

In his speeches, Thackeray left nothing to the imagination, using scathing remarks against his opponents and on Monday, he didn’t even spare President APJ Abdul Kalam.

Speaking on the issue of the death sentence of Parliament attack accused, Mohammad Afzal Guru, Thackeray said agitatedly in Marathi, �Now the President cannot see what is happening. His long hair has come before his eyes. He cannot see what is happening before him."

This is the first time in the history of the country that such harsh and humiliating words have been used for a President, and that too in public domain, but Thackeray did not stop at that.

Though, he has never been subtle about his dislike for UPA chairperson and Congress President Sonia Gandhi, on previous occasions the language was always constrained. However, this time it was a no-holds-barred salvo on Sonia.

�This country is being ruled by foreigners. The Congress leaders and workers are all impotent,� Thackeray said.
