Mumbai Eknath Shinde, who rebelled against Shiv Sena supremo Uddhav Thackeray, has now made a serious allegation. Shinde alleges that the Mumbai bomb blast accused and those close to don Dawood Ibrahim have the support of Shiv Sena. Eknath Shinde has made this allegation in a tweet. He wrote in the tweet, ‘How Balasaheb Thackeray’s Shiv Sena is supporting people who are directly related to the Mumbai bomb blasts, Dawood Ibrahim and those who killed innocent people of Mumbai. That’s why we took this step (of rebellion). (Instead of supporting such people) death is better.’
This is the first time in the ongoing crisis in Shiv Sena in Maharashtra, when such a serious allegation has been made by Eknath Shinde. So now this discussion has also started that towards which leader Eknath Shinde has raised his finger. If you look at the Mahavikas Aghadi, there are only a few big leaders in it. The biggest leader of Aghadi is Sharad Pawar. He was the CM of Maharashtra during the 1993 Mumbai blasts. The other big leader is Deputy CM and Sharad’s nephew Ajit Pawar. Uddhav Thackeray is also one of the big leaders of Aghadi. Apart from this, the state president of Congress is Nana Patole. He was earlier in BJP. Apart from these, former Congress CM Ashok Chavan and Prithviraj Chavan are missing from the scenario nowadays. In such a situation, on whose side has Shinde raised his finger, it is being discussed.
Let us tell you that Sharad Pawar himself has told in an interview that when the bomb blasts happened in Mumbai in 1993, at that time he had lied to control the situation that a bomb had exploded in a mosque too. Whereas, no bomb had exploded in any mosque and there were blasts in only 11 places of Mumbai. Hundreds of people were injured in these. The people of Mumbai have not forgotten that dreadful day till date. Even after this, there were many blasts in Mumbai, but then the biggest attack happened on 26 November 2008. When Pakistani terrorists spread terror in the city for three days.
