Nirupam quotes Suketu

While Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Nirupam dedicated most of his eloquent speech to his plea for more funds for Mumbai, it did not take long for him to return to the Shiv Sena8217;s pet topic of Mumbaikars vs outsiders.

Quoting from Suketu Mehta8217;s Maximum City, he said of the country8217;s industrial capital: 8216;8216;Where there is a population density of one million people per square mile, in some parts of Central Mumbai8217;8217;. When pointed out that the next chapter of the book had an in-depth study of the Sena and its role in the 1993 riots, Nirupam said: 8216;8216;I need not agree with everything Mehta says.8217;8217; When prodded, he retorted: 8216;8216;I will agree with facts which suit me.8217;8217;
