Slap Uddhav remark: Sena, BJP supporters clash after FIR lodged against Narayan Rane

| @indiablooms | Aug 24, 2021, at 05:48 pm

Mumbai/IBNS: The supporters of the ruling Shiv Sena and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) clashed here Tuesday morning after a case was filed against Union Minister Narayan Rane, who has passed a controversial comment on Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.

"It is shameful that the chief minister does not know the year of independence. He leaned back to enquire about the count of years of independence during his speech. Had I been there, I would have given (him) a tight slap," Rane reportedly said during BJP's Jan Ashirwad Yatra in Raigad Monday.

A First Information Report (FIR) has been filed in Nashik against Rane, a BJP leader.

The Union Minister may also be arrested by police, media reports said.

Police have put out a warrant for Rane.
