Rahul ticks off Shiv Sena, says India belongs to all Indians

Patna/Mumbai, Feb 2 (PTI) Ticking off Indian political
party Shiv Sena for the second consecutive day over the
migrant issue, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Tuesday asserted
that India is for all Indians and people have a right to go
anywhere.

"I am really not interested in what Bal Thackeray or
Raj Thackeray have to say. Frankly, I am interested in one
concept that India belongs to Indians and every part of India
belongs to every Indian", he said at a press conference in
Patna, in India's eastern state of Bihar.
"People have a right to go anywhere. I am not going to
remain silent and stop people of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar from
going to Maharashtra," Gandhi said on being asked about Shiv
Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray criticising him in party
mouthpiece 'Saamna'.
"In Mumbai (during the 26/11 attacks), men in the NSG
were from Bihar, UP, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh and
Maharashtra. At that time they (Sena) did not say that those
from Bihar and UP should be taken out. India has to move
forward and all have to be taken forward," he said.
Hitting back at the Congress leader, Thackeray said,
Rahul Gandhi has "insulted" the bravery of martyrs like Hemant
Karkare, Ashok Kamte, Vijay Salaskar, Tukaram Omble, all
daring Marathi policemen, and National Security Guard (NSG)
Major Sandeep Unnikrishan.
"Where was Rahul Gandhi when Mumbai was attacked ?"
asked Thackeray while terming the Congress leader's comments
as "anti-Marathi". (MORE) PTI Team
