LIVE! Sena distances itself from Sainik who said 'Modi will destroy Pak'

April 22, 2014 15:42

Narendra Modi today appeared to condemn virulent anti-Muslim remarks by one-time associate Pravin Togadia, but his party finds itself entangled in a new episode of hate remarks.

At a rally in Mumbai yesterday, just a few minutes before Modi arrived, a leader from the Shiv Sena said to the large crowd, -- "Narendra Modi will destroy Pakistan within six months if he comes to power."

The remarks by Ramdas Kadam are the latest in a series of comments by hardliners that are threatening to over-shadow the election.

Kadam has since denied the remarks.

Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray has already distanced himself from Kadam and says the party's views do not reflect Kadam's view.
