New Delhi:
Amid the ongoing nationwide protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), Shiv Sena on Saturday asserted that Muslims belonging to Pakistan and Bangladesh should be thrown out of the country. Also, the Uddhav Thackeray-led party slammed MNS chief Raj Thackeray and accused him of making Hindutva its prime agenda.
In an editorial in its mouthpiece Saamana, Shiv Sena said, "There is no doubt that Muslims of Pakistan and Bangladesh should be thrown out of the country.” However, it maintained that the CAA has several loopholes.
Taking a dig at Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray for changing his stand with respect to the Citizenship Law and his shift towards Hindutva, Shiv Sena said, "Yesterday, the MNS said that they support the CAA. However, just a month back, they were against this act." “This is very interesting. Shiv Sena has never changed its flag. It will remain saffron always. Shiv Sena has always fought for Hindutva,” the party added.
Shiv Sena further said, "14 years back Raj Thackeray formed a party for the Marathi ideology but now it has changed its track to Hindutva. When Raj Thackeray during his speech said welcome my Hindu brothers and sisters it was demanded by BJP. MNS could not get anything and now also it cannot get anything."

Shiv Sena also lambasted Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for stalling development in Maharashtra when it was in power. "Things which BJP could not do it in five years, the Maha Vikas Aghadi did it in 50 days. They can form a government with Mehbooba Mufti, but here we can't form a government with Congress and NCP. We are in government for the Common Minimum Program. For the betterment of Maharashtra," it added.
