Mumbai: Shiv Sena MP and Union Minister Milind Deora launched a scathing attack on Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday, accusing him of vacationing in Europe with his family while the nation mourned the deaths of 26 civilians in a terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Deora criticized the Thackeray family’s absence during critical moments, alleging a shift in their political priorities. “From sons of the soil to tourists of India—how far the Thackerays have fallen. While bullets flew in Pahalgam, they were vacationing in Europe. On Maharashtra Day, they vanished without a word. No statement. No solidarity. No shame,” he posted.

The Congress-turned-Shiv Sena leader didn’t stop there. In his strongly-worded remarks, Deora accused Uddhav Thackeray of indulging in what he termed “luxury politics” at a time when leadership and solidarity were needed.

“This isn’t leadership – it’s luxury politics. In contrast, DCM Eknath Shinde led from the front, stood with the victims and honoured our heroes. Maharashtra needs warriors on duty, not part-time Netas on holiday,” Deora said.

Deora praised Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde for visiting the families of the victims and standing in solidarity with the nation. “He led from the front,” he noted, drawing a stark contrast between the two leaders.

The terror attack in Pahalgam last month claimed the lives of 26 tourists and sparked national outrage. In its aftermath, the Indian government responded with a range of diplomatic and economic actions against Pakistan, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, halting trade, cutting down diplomatic staff, and stopping visa services.
