“These are agents of Pakistan. They should be kicked on their butt,” Raut added. He also questioned the reason for inviting Pakistani politicians to the city. “Why do these Pakistani agents feel that the people they are calling are peace doves. They are all vultures. They are wolves who are killing our people. They cant see the violence that has been unleashed against our people. However their blood boils when their faces are blackened,” Raut said.

Maharashtra Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnvais had claimed that all necessary protection would be provided to the function. Raut however claimed that the BJPs statement was because of the consideration that it was governing a state.

“This is power that is speaking. The feelings of the people of the BJP are a lot different. Our relationship with the BJP is strong and the government is sturdy however our perception on the issue of Pakistan is different. The Sena’s stand against Pakistan is firm,” Raut added.
