Shiv Sena Defends RSS After Javed Akhtar's 'Taliban' Comparison

New Delhi, 24 September 2021

As per news report of NDTV, In an editorial in party mouthpiece Saamna, the Sena pointed out that the RSS, for example, had not supported the religious frenzy that accompanied the 'beef' issue, and underlined "no frenzy in the name of Hindutva is accepted here... neither the Shiv Sena nor the RSS support that". "We won't accept madness in the name of Hindutva. How can you say those who favour the concept of a 'Hindu rashtra' are of Taliban mindset? We don't agree with this, " the party said. The Sena editorial said "nations like Pakistan, China have supported Taliban rule as human rights, democracy and personal freedom are of no value there. The mindset of Hindustan does not look like that. We are tremendously tolerant in every way," the Sena editorial said. "Under the guise of the veil of democracy, some people may be trying to bring dictatorship... yet they have a limit. Therefore, it is not proper to compare RSS with Taliban."
