Thackeray slams Anjali Waghmare

In Mumbai,around 200 people and 16 policemen including three top officers were killed by terrorists. The lawyers in Mumbai too should have refused to defend Kasab to assert their patriotism, Thackeray said in an interview given to party MP Sanjay Raut in the Sena mouthpiece Saamna.

Referring to Anjali,Thackeray said: The lady says she is not afraid of even dying. She need not be afraid of anything as she has been provided with Z-class security. Even the judge should apply his mind this time about necessity to have a defence lawyer. Thackeray also described as a joke the debate on human rights in the country.

He lamented that despite the Supreme Court awarding death sentence to Parliament attack case convict Afzal Guru,the President was not able to act in the case and the power to decide on the issue rested with the country8217;s Home Minister. This is a murder of democracy. The attack on Parliament was an attack on India8217;s sovereignty. Are you not ashamed, Thackeray asked.
