Amidst the echoing whispers of Maharashtra's Tourism Minister Aaditya Thackeray's involvement in the murder of Disha Salian and Sushant Singh Rajput, the political leader broke his silence recently. Terming the allegations and ongoing whisper-campaign against him as ‘low-level dirty politics', Thackeray Jr. said that so far he has maintained restraint in the matter though he was "not connected to the case in any manner".
"Maharashtra government is making all-out efforts to combat the Coronavirus pandemic. Given the government's success and popularity, those who cannot digest it have started to play politics with Sushant Singh Rajput's case," Aaditya Thackeray said in a statement.
He said that disgruntled political elements were using unnecessary slander to target the Thackeray family as a whole and him personally, though he took no names.
"It is like licking off the ‘ghee' from a dead body, which is sickening. Sushant Singh Rajput's death is sad and shocking. I have absolutely no connection with the case," Thackeray Jr. said.
He admitted that since Mumbai is the capital of Bollywood, that is a source of employment for thousands of people, he enjoys excellent relations with many in the film industry, which "is not a crime".
Aaditya Thackeray added that the Mumbai Police and Maharashtra Police, which have a global reputation, are investigating the case in-depth, "but only those who don't have faith in the law are indulging in such scurrilous allegations to misguide the investigations".
"I wish to make it clear that I am the grandson of Hindu Hriday Samrat Balasaheb Thackeray and I will never do anything that will sully the image of Maharashtra, Shiv Sena or the Thackeray family. Those making such cheap allegations must realize this," Aaditya Thackeray asserted.
After his response, Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut's social media team has asked seven-questions from Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray's son. Kangana Team's Uddhav's election as Maharashtra CM as a result of 'Dirty-Politics'.
Team Kangana wrote, "Ha ha look who is talking about dirty politics, how your father got CM seat is a case study of dirty politics sir... forget all that ask your father to answer few questions related to SSR death ..
1) Where is Rhea?
2) Why @MumbaiPolice didn’t take FIR on SSR’s unnatural death?
3) When a complaint was made about SSR’s life being in danger in the month of Feb, why @MumbaiPolice called it a suicide on day one?
4) Why don’t we have forensic experts or SSR phone data who all called and spoke to him during the week of his murder?
5) Why IPS Vinay Tiwari is locked up in the name of quarantine?
6) Why being fearful of CBI?
7) Why Rhea and her family looted Sushant money?
Aaditya Thackeray is yet to respond to questions raised by Kangana Ranaut's team.
