Mumbai, March 03: Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray today refrained from reacting to legendary singer Asha Bhosale’s remarks that “India belongs to all Indians”.
She had made the remarks in Pune on Sunday.
“Those present at the function should have reacted,” Thackeray told reporters when asked for his reaction without naming his estranged cousin and MNS president Raj Thackeray.
The MNS chief was among the guests at the function.
Earlier, Shiv Sena had criticised blaster Sachin Tendulkar and industrialist Mukesh Ambani for their “Mumbai for all” comments.
Speaking at a cultural evening organised by a Marathi television channel here, Asha had said, “People are bound to flock Mumbai as Hindustan belongs to all. Those who work hard here become prosperous. I also worked in my field with determination to earn success. I have sung in all Indian languages but I am a proud Maharashtrian.
