Live! Sena: Burqa remark targetted at Congress, not Modi

November 06, 2013 16:41

Shiv Sena leader Rahul Narvekar has denied that the editorial in Saamna was an attack on the BJP and Narendra Modi. Narvekar said that edit was targetted at the Congress and specifically Rajya Sabha MP Mani Shankar Aiyar.

In an apparent barb at Modi, the Sena said, "Special efforts are being made to bring in burqa-clad women faces to (Modi's) public rallies. Everyone is in a hurry to appease minorities. Rather than opposing the Congress, all are getting in the race of appeasing minorities," an editorial in Sena mouthpiece "Saamna" said.
