The "Jinnah Ghost" doesn't seem to spare Indian politics any time soon. After BJP and Congress entangled in the counter allegations over Jinnah's role in dividing India it's the turn of the Thackrey family to wash their laundary in public. Bal Thackrey today accused his politician nephew Raj Thakre of playing Jinnah. "The British incited Jinnah and forced him to divide India. Now a Jinnah at home is dividing Marathi people," Bal Thackrey said in his latest editorial in party mouthpiece Saamana.
Both Bal and Raj Thackrey have have been trying to use the "sons of the soil" issue to generate support for their parties. While Bal's Shiv Sena is already in an alliance with the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) for the forthcoming Assembly elections; Raj's Maharashtra Navniram Sena (MNS) has said it's ready to support any party in a post-election scenario.Bal Thackrey also blamed the Indian National Congress (INC) to use Raj to divide Marathi votes in an attempt to gain power. In the editorial Bal Thackrey said that this brand of politics is worse than that of Jinnah who at least openly demanded for a separate Pakistan.
Now it is to be seen what Raj has to say for his uncle. Raj has been very vocally critical about his cousin; Udhav Thackrey but stayed away from commenting much on his uncle Bal Thackrey till now.
