After Udhhav Thackeray’s bizarre attempts to compare campus violence in JNU to 26/11 and Jamia police retaliations to Jalianwala Bagh massacre, Shiv Sena’s Sanjay Raut has gone a step ahead and defended secessionist posters seen at the Mumbai protests yesterday. Sanjay Raut,Shiv Sena: I read in newspaper that those who held ‘free Kashmir’ banner clarified that they want to be free of restrictions on internet services,mobile services and other issues. A day after the Gateway event posters created a stir, exposing the hollow activism behind such protests and their actual intentions, Shiv Sena, the freshly ‘secular’ and newly ‘liberal’ voice in Indian politics has done a ‘la Barkha’. Shiv Sena’s firebrand Shayari expert Sanjay Raut has stated that he has come to know that the ‘free Kashmir’ posters did not mean actually ‘free Kashmir’ and they wanted only freedom from restrictions of internet services, mobile services and other issues.
