Uddhav Thackeray slams vendetta politics, says I’m proud of arrested MP Sanjay Raut

TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray slams vendetta politics, says he is proud of party MP Sanjay Raut, arrested by ED.

“I am proud of Sanjay Raut. There’s a dialogue in the film, ‘Pushpa’ – “jhukega nahi”. But the real Shiv Sainik who won’t bend is Sanjay Raut. Those who used to say they won’t bend are all on that side today. That’s not the direction shown by Balasaheb. Raut is true Shiv Sainik,” Uddhav Thackeray said.

Thackeray on Monday met with family members of party leader Sanjay Raut, arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case, in suburban Mumbai.

Thackeray visited Raut’s residence in Bhandup along with party MP Arvind Sawant, MLA Ravindra Waikar and Sena leader Milind Narvekar. Raut and Thackeray are known to share a close bond.

 At Raut’s residence, Thackeray met with his elderly mother, wife, daughters and other family members. Raut’s mother and wife had turned emotional while he was being taken away by the Enforcement Directorate  on Sunday.
