Shiv Sena has also come in support of the central government over the eviction of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh and Pakistan. In its mouthpiece ‘Saamana’, Shiv Sena said that the Muslims infiltrators from these countries should be thrown out.
This comes after Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray unveiled his party’s agenda to support Narendra Modi government over the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC).
Raj Thackeray has recently announced that MNS will hit the streets on February 9 to protest against Bangladeshi and Pakistani infiltrators. On the occasion of Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray’s birth anniversary, Raj Thackeray launched a new party flag and made an ideological shift turning complete saffron. Thackeray had announced that his party will have two flags.
Reacting to this, Shiv Sena took a dig at Raj Thackeray saying that dealing with Hindutva passed on by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar and Bal Thackeray was not a child’s play while taunting MNS for having two flags.
"...having two flags shows a confused state of mind. Raj Thackeray founded his party 14 years ago on the issue of Marathi Manus. However, it appears to be turning towards Hindutva now,” Shiv Sena said in ‘Saamana’.
The Shiv Sena further said that the Muslims infiltrators from Pakistan and Bangladesh should be driven out of India. “However, to see a party changing its flag for it is amusing,” Sena asserted.
In its article, the Uddhav Thackeray-led party further said that it is unlikely for MNS to gain anything through its new Hindtuva stand as Shiv Sena has never shed its saffron colour.
Earlier, while addressing the gathering at MMRDA ground in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray had claimed that although he found new allies he had not changed his “saffron” colour.
"I have chosen a new political path by allying with old political rivals. Our colour is saffron, our ‘antarang’ (inner colour) is saffron and it will continue to remain so. I have not to change it,” Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray.

CM Thackeray said this to counter the criticism of its former ally Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that his party had abandoned Hindutva to gain power.
