Thackeray mocks Team Anna | In a stinging attack on anti- corruption
crusader Anna Hazare and his team, Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray today went
on record lambasting Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi and Shanti and Prashant Bhushan,
calling them controversial. Making a reference to last year’s incident of the
IT department asking Right to Information (RTI) activist Arvind Kejriwal to pay
dues of about Rs. nine lakh for allegedly violating the provisions of the bond
under which he went on a study leave for two years, Thackeray said, "Kejriwal
had a case going against him, he had to cough up the fine.” Thackeray also trained
his guns on former IPS and Team Anna member Kiran Bedi accusing her of swindling
funds. “Kiran Bedi also claimed business class tickets and flew economy class.
She swindles the rest of the money,” he said. Lawyers Prashant Bhushan and Shahsi
Bhushan also came in for scathing criticism from Thackeray, calling Prashant Bhushan,
who was assaulted by radical elements in his chamber last year for his comments
on Kashmir , a controversial person. “We read everyday in the newspapers. He had
asked for a referendum for the people of Kashmir . Is Kashmir your father's birthday
cake?" said the founder of Shiv Sena.
