Nehru-Edwina affair responsible for Partition
Mumbai:
Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray has claimed that the love affair between Jawaharlal Nehru and Edwina Mountbatten was responsible for compromising on the sovereignity of the country.
In an interview to Sena mouthpiece Saamna published on Monday, he claimed that the partition happened because of the love affair.
Thackeray said, It was Nehrus pagalpan (madness). He was having a love affair with Edwina that led to the countrys downfall. Lord Mountbatten took advantage of this. I had a film on this. England later banned the film as that country feared loss of face. Their decision to ban the film was patriotic.
Thackeray added that the late film maker Manmohan Desai had given him a cassette of the film.
