Mumbai, June 28: Amidst the ongoing political crisis in Maharashtra, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Tuesday, took a new jibe at the rebel MLAs who are camped in Assam, terming them as 'jahil' or uneducated, who are like the 'walking dead'.
Meanwhile, attacking rebel MLAs of the party, Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray accused them of "betraying" the party and said, "the dirt has gone out of Shiv Sena". Thackeray, who was addressing Shivsainiks in Mumbai said the party rebels were "enjoying" in Guwahati when Assam was dealing with floods in parts of the state.
Thackeray also claimed that 15-20 MLAs, who are in the Eknath Shinde's rebel camp were in touch with the Shiv Sena and have urged the party to bring them back to Mumbai from Guwahati.
"'Jahalat' (lack of education) is a kind of death and 'Jahil' (uneducated) people are like the walking dead," Raut said in a tweet.
Raut's remarks came a day after he clarified his earlier "living corpses" remark for rebel MLAs, stating that he had used a manner of speech common in Maharashtra and that he did not intend to hurt anyone's sentiment.
A day before, Raut said, "Their bodies are alive, but their soul is dead, it is a way of speaking in Maharashtra. What wrong did I say? Those who stay in a party for 40 years and then run away, their souls are dead, they do not have anything left in them, these are the lines said by Dr Ram Manohar Lohia. I didn't want to hurt anyone's sentiment, I just said the truth." On Sunday, the Shiv Sena leader lashed out at party's rebel MLAs calling them "living corpses" whose "souls are dead".
Thackeray also claimed that 15-20 MLAs, who are in the Eknath Shinde's rebel camp were in touch with the Shiv Sena and have urged the party to bring them back to Mumbai from Guwahati.
