Uddhav Thackeray Denounces PM's 'Surrogate Child' Remark, Vows to Protect Parental Dignity

Uddhav slams PM for 'nakli santaan' jibe, says won't tolerate insult of my parents

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for calling him the ''nakli santaan'' (fake child) of late Balasaheb Thackeray and said he would not tolerate the insult of his parents.

Addressing a rally in Srirampur in Ahmednagar for his party's Shirdi Lok Sabha candidate Bhausaheb Wakchaure, Thackeray further said the PM will make such statements on one hand and then bow at the Shivaji Park memorial of the late Shiv Sena founder during his Mumbai visit on May 17.

''In a rally in Telangana, the PM said he wants to ask the 'nakli santaan' of Balasaheb. Modiji should fight me, but if you insult my parents I will not tolerate it,'' Thackeray said.

Thackeray said the PM did not have a problem taking his signature during nominations in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha polls but was now attacking his party.
