In a shocking incident in Mumbai, someone threw red paint on the bust of Meenatai Thackeray, the wife of late Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray. This happened early Wednesday morning at the iconic Shivaji Park in Dadar, a spot that’s dear to many Shiv Sena supporters.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis quickly condemned the act while speaking to reporters in Pune. He promised a thorough police investigation to catch the culprits behind this vandalism. “This is completely unacceptable. The police will track down whoever did this and take strict action,” Fadnavis said. He urged people not to turn it into a big political drama right now.
The bust of Meenatai Thackeray holds special significance as a tribute to her legacy in Maharashtra politics. Such defacement of statues has sparked outrage, especially in a city like Mumbai where Shiv Sena’s history runs deep.
On the other hand, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Anand Dubey slammed the Maharashtra government, calling it a huge security lapse. “How could this happen with CCTV cameras everywhere and police patrolling the area? It shows the current government’s failure,” Dubey told . He questioned if the attack was deliberate and demanded immediate action from CM Devendra Fadnavis.
Dubey added that Shiv Sena (UBT) workers are holding back only because of instructions from party chief Uddhav Thackeray. “We’re staying calm for now, but if all Shiv Sainiks hit the streets, it won’t be good for anyone. Statues of our great leaders shouldn’t face this,” he warned.
Police have started probing the Shivaji Park vandalism case, and updates are expected soon as the search for the offenders continues in Mumbai.
