Uddhav Sena slams Union Minister’s ‘IIT Bombay’ remark; seeks FIR for ‘disrespect to Mumbai’
Mumbai, Nov 27 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) on Thursday strongly criticised Union Minister Jitendra Singh for expressing gratitude that "IIT Bombay's name was not changed to IIT Mumbai," calling the comment a sign of 'mental slavery' and demanding a police case be registered against him for showing disrespect to the city. The Uddhav Thackeray faction of the Shiv Sena, through a hard-hitting editorial in its party mouthpiece ‘Saamana’, claimed the statement was yet another attempt by the Centre to sever Mumbai's connection with Maharashtra, citing the recent attempt to place Chandigarh under central control as a precedent.
