Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday said those who feel there is politics behind Tuesday’s Badlapur protest over the alleged sexual assault on two kindergarten girls are either abnormal or protectors of the culprits.
He said there is no political motive behind the bandh called by the opposition bloc Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) on August 24. The bandh is aimed at creating the awareness that the security of women should be a priority and also “awakening” the government.
“Those who feel there is politics behind the Badlapur protest are either abnormal or protectors of the culprits,” the Sena (UBT) chief said at a news conference.
A massive protest rocked Badlapur town in Thane district on Tuesday after thousands of people hit the streets and spilled onto railway tracks to protest the alleged sexual assault on two four-year-old girls by a male attendant on the premises of a local school.
