On the back foot at the religious conversions taking place in the Country, the BJP got some respite when its ally, the Shiva Sena came out in support of the conversions.
“Till recently, when Hindus were converted to Islam, nobody said a thing. Nobody talked about it, whether it was forced or voluntary. Hindus were forcibly converted to Islam during the Mughal rule and to Christianity during the Portuguese and British reigns.
Did these pseudo-secularists speak a single word on these aspects at by time during their political careers? Now when, the Ganga has started flowing in the opposite direction, they are raising a hue and cry about it,” said ‘Saamna’, the party mouthpiece of the Shiva Sena.
This support from the Sena will go to bolster relations between the BJP and the Sena which were strained of late thanks to the ruckus over the seat sharing and portfolio sharing in Maharashtra.
