Uddhav Thackeray leading 'Aurangzeb fan club' in Maharashtra: Amit Shah

Shah also said that Thackeray had been sitting with people that sought clemency for 1993 Mumbai serial blasts convict Yakub Memon.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday mounted a scathing attack on Opposition coalition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) and termed it the 'Aurangzeb fan club'. Shah further took a dig at Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, terming him the leader of this 'club'.

Speaking at the BJP's state convention event in Pune, Amit Shah came down heavily on the former Maharashtra Chief Minister for forging an alliance with those who served 'biryani' to 26/11 terror attack convict Ajmal Kasab.

Shah also said that Thackeray had been sitting with people that sought clemency for 1993 Mumbai serial blasts convict Yakub Memon.

"Who are part of the Aurangzeb fan club? Those who serve biryani to Kasab, those who seek clemency for Yakub Memon, those who give (controversial Islamic preacher) Zakir Naik a messenger of peace award and those who support the (banned Islamist outfit) PFI. Uddhav Thackeray should be ashamed of sitting with these people," Shah asserted.
