New Delhi: Maharashtra Minister Deepak KesarkarThursday dismissed the claims made by Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut that the security of former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and his family has been reduced.
He said, "The security of Uddhav Thackeray and his family has not been decreased. The state home department has given clarification on it. Sanjay Raut and Aaditya Thackeray should not lie about it."
The minister asserted that Shiv Sena leaders including Aditya Thackeray should not lie.
Earlier, Sanjay Raut had launched an attack against the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government saying the latter has thinned the security of Uddhav Thackeray, his wife and Matoshree (his residence).
Raut had said, "This is all influenced by politics, whether it is ED raids or scaling down of security. But they will get the outcome of their doings. What can they(BJP) do maximum, they might shoot us or put us in jail."
