Meanwhile, six Shiv Sena activists who had been arrested on Monday for blackening Kulkarni’s face, on Tuesday met party chief Uddhav Thackeray at ‘Matoshree’, his Bandra residence. “As soon as Sudheendra Kulkarni’s face was blackened, he immediately put his photos on social networking sites and alleged that the Sena was behind the attack. We agree with his allegations. Being patriotic and securing our country is Maharashtra s work and we are doing our work,” the Saamana editorial said. “It would have been better if the security provided for Kasuri was used to protect the citizens of Mumbai. They (the government) only stopped short of calling the army to protect him. “Who is this Kasuri? Today, he speaks a different tone but while he was in government, he was instrumental in bringing all separatists together against India,” it said, flaying the Fadnavis government for the stringent security at the book release function that prevented the Sena from carrying out the threat of disrupting it.
