Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday responded strongly to a letter sent to him by state Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari. The governor requested Uddhav Thackeray to reopen religious places of worship in the state in his letter.
Koshyari wrote: “You have been a strong votary of Hindutva. You had publicly expressed your devotion for Lord Ram. You had visited, Vitthal Rukmani Temple on Ashadi Ekadashi.”
“I wonder if you are receiving any divine premonition to keep postponing the reopening of the places of worships time and again or have you suddenly turned secular?” Koshyari asked in the letter.
In response, Uddhav Thackeray said, “I don’t need a certificate from you about my Hindutva.”
Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray also wrote in the letter that “welcoming those who call my state capital as PoK does not fit my Hindutva.” Recall that Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut compared Mumbai to Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. Despite this, the governor gave time to meet Kangana.
