Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has slammed opposition parties who are demanding to allow dahi handi and reopening of religious places amid the threat of a third COVID-19 wave.
“This is not the freedom struggle… people are trying to be heroes after organising a few Dahi Handis. If you want to fight, fight against Covid,” he said on Tuesday during the virtual inauguration of an oxygen generation plant in Thane.
“They call us ‘Hindu-virodhisarkar’, or ‘government that opposes Hindus’… This can’t continue. I want to show them the letter from the centre, in which they said that during Dahi Handi and Ganesh Utsav we have to impose restrictions… So what are they (if not ‘Hindu-virodhi’)” he said.
“This government is not against any religion… but against coronavirus. Which is why I want to say that those who want to protest, fight against the virus… ensure you increase oxygen generation plants. But you (the BJP) don’t have the will or intention… you just want to come out on the streets and create chaos,” the Chief Minister declared.
