Uddhav rejects AIMIM’s offer to join MVA

Monday, 21 March 2022 | PNS | Mumbai

Maharashtra Chief  Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday rejected vehemently a proposal mooted by the  All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) that it was willing to join the Shiv Sena-led ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in Maharashtra, by dubbing the AIMIM's proposal was a “conspiracy” hatched by the Opposition BJP to “defame” the Shiv Sena. 

A day after the AIMIM MP Imtiaz Jaleel crested a sensation that his party was willing to join  the Shiv Sena-led MVA to prevent the BJP coming from coming to power in the forthcoming elections, Uddhav said: “The BJP does not lose any opportunity to term the Shiv Sena as anti-Hindu party. Without rhyme or reason, the AIMIM has come out with an offer that it intends to join the MVA. The offer is part of the BJP's conspiracy. The AIMIM has made an offer on behalf of the BJP.  The question of our forging an alliance with the AIMIM  will never arise”.

Charging that the BJP practised the ideology of Goebbels and Hitler who played on the fears and hopes of the people, Uddhav said: “They (BJP) creates an atmosphere among the people that Hindutva is in danger and there will be a doom if others elected to power. Like Gobbles, they spread baseless and false rumours among the people. The AIMIM’s offer of joining the MVA has actually come from the BJP. We will never align with a party (AIMIM) that pays obeisance to Aurangazeb”.

Singling out the BJP for its' 'politics of machinations'', Uddhav exhorted his party workers to  create awareness among the people about the Shiv Sena’s brand of Hindutva and “expose” the “conspiracy” behind AIMIM’s offer to join the MVA. “These ( BJP) are the same people who slept with Mehbooba Mufti for power. Mehbooba's was the party that opposed the execution of Afzal Guru. They are now talking about us. Being in the MVA, we know how to practise alliance dharma. They need not teach us”.

Coming down heavily on the BJP for its efforts to “defame” the Shiv Sena and “misguide” the people about its staunch Hindutva ideology, Uddhav – who is the Shiv Sena president – said: “Like I had said during my visit to Ayodhya, we have severed our links with the Shiv Sena and not Hindutva. They (BJP) use Hindutva for the sake of politics, whereas we ( Shiv Sena)  indulge in politics for the sake of Hindutva. That is the difference between the two parties”.Taking a potshot at RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, Uddhav said: “Moihan Bhagwat says that RSS runs on Hindutva ideology and asks people to practise Hindutva.  As far as we are concerned, Hindu dharma shastra is Manav Dharma shastra and that’s we are Hindu Rashra. There is unity in diversity. That is what Hindutva is known for across the world. That being the case, how can we exclude Muslims from the Hindutva?”.
