New Delhi. Amid the ongoing controversy over Shiv Sena UBT MP Arvind Sawant’s statement on imported goods, his own party’s senior leader Sanjay Raut has defended Sawant. Sanjay Raut said that Arvind Sawant is a senior leader of our party and he has not insulted anyone. Raut said, if any goods is brought from outside then it is called imported goods, Shiv Sena candidate of Shinde group from Mumbadevi, Shaina NC, has come from outside, so how can a woman be insulted in this. Raut said, this issue is being blown out of proportion unnecessarily.

Sanjay Raut made the opposite allegation and said that what did these people not say about Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi? You should once see the history of the last 10-15 years. If there is outside material then it is outside material, if an outsider contests elections, people say that he has come from outside, there is no need to make such a big issue.

On the other hand, Shiv Sena leader Shaina NC says, an FIR has been registered against Arvind Sawant at Nagpada Police Station under sections 79 and 356 (2) for hurting the dignity of women. Election Commission and Women Commission have also taken cognizance of this matter. This is a fight for the respect of women. Making objectionable comments on women and hurting the dignity of women is not a small problem. The truth is in front of everyone in that video, their distorted mentality is visible in it. Let us tell you that yesterday, during the campaign of his party’s candidate from Mumba Devi seat, Arvind Sawant had described the opposition party’s candidate Shaina NC as an imported product from outside. He had said that imported goods do not work here.
