Fuming Over Maha Guv's 'Votary of Hindutva Turns Secular' Letter, Shiv Sena May Seek Recall of Koshyari

News 18  

The Shiv Sena is mulling writing to President Ram Nath Kovind to seek removal of Maharashtra governor BS Koshyari a day after a ‘letter war‘ ensued between him and the government over reopening of religious places during the phased lifting of Covid-19 lockdown. Koshyari also asked Thackeray, “Have you suddenly turned secular?” Responding to this question, Thackeray wondered if to Koshyari Hindutva meant merely reopening places of religious worship and if not opening them was to him being secular. Governor’s letter to the Chief Minister invokes the connotation as if written to the leader of a political party,” Pawar said in a tweet, after releasing the letter to Modi. “In the very Preamble of our Constitution, the word ‘secular’ is added that equates and shields all religions and hence the Chair of the Chief Minister must uphold such tenets of the Constitution,” the NCP chief said, adding he has conveyed his views to Modi regarding the letter by Koshyari.
