Firing a fresh salvo at the Narendra Modi government, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday questioned the Centre's handling of the Kashmir situation and accused BJP of "failing" Hindus, while noting that a "hazy situation" was prevalent in the country.
"Who is accountable for this (Kashmir situation)? Amaranth Yatra has been suspended, Hindus are being beaten, jawans attacked. Everyone had hoped that after a change in government, the scenario would change," Thackeray said in an interview to party mouthpiece 'Saamana', ahead of his birthday on July 26.
"Now onwards, Hindus will not be targeted', this is what BJP, which is in power at the Centre as well as in the state (Kashmir), had asserted. But, Hindus are in trouble in the Valley," claimed Uddhav.
Shiv Sena, the oldest political ally of the BJP, shares power with it at the Centre as well as in Maharashtra.
