Shiv Sena asks followers to 'invade' Pakistan as ‘human bombers’
Extremist outfit defended terrorism in ‘national interest’
MUMBAI – Shiv Sena – a Hindu outfit – on Tuesday defended its founder Bal Thackeray's ideology, saying he created a ‘fear’ of Hindus solely in ‘national interest’ and hit out at a weekly magazine for its article against the late party supremo.
“People have lot of love and respect for Balasaheb Thackeray and feel proud of his nationalist ideals. He surely instilled a fear of Hindus among people,” an editorial in Saamana – Sena’s mouthpiece – said, rubbishing the contents of an article published in the magazine.
Sena workers had staged a protest at Nariman Point area in South Mumbai against the magazine, tearing and torching its copies. A case was also filed in adjoining district in connection with the article. "Hindus should be able to live in India with pride and their voice should roar like that of a lion,” the outfit said on Tuesday.
“If an answer has to be given to Pakistanis, Hindus will also have to become highly religious. To answer Pakistan, Hindus need to become ‘human bombs’ and invade their country,” it said in controversial remarks. Defending thoughts and ideology of the late Thackeray, the Sena said if his stand that Pakistanis should be responded in their own terms can be called as terrorism, then this kind of terrorism was in the ‘national interest.’
The party said that Thackeray considered all religions equal and so, after the then Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi's assassination in 1984, he appealed for calm in the state. "It was because of him that the Sikh community could live in peace in Mumbai and other parts of the state,” it said.
“Today, even if we don't want a magazine to gain unnecessary publicity by publishing false information on Balasaheb, but if people's anger rises then the already dead magazine will be further crushed by them in the market,” the Sena said.
