The Shiv Sena mouthpiece, Saamna, has slammed the Congress-led DF government for "bowing" before the "anti-national" Muslims who went on the rampage in south Mumbai. In its editorial on Monday, Saamna described the violence as a "grand rehearsal" of the infamous 26/11 attack on Mumbai.
"While 26/11 happened all of a sudden, Saturday's violence happened right under the nose of the city police. Those who held south Mumbai to ransom are not just miscreants, they are anti-national Muslims. However, it is unfortunate that the police did nothing to control the crisis," said Saamna.
Sena chief Bal Thackeray is the editor of Saamna. "The office of the police commissioner is barley 100 steps away from the place where the Muslim youths went on the rampage. They took away weapons from policemen, molested women, assaulted innocent citizens and torched public vehicles. Yet the police did nothing. There bullets turned into chocolates," it said.
