News for 'Chandrashekara Kambara'

Thackeray unapologetic about comments against Jnanpith awardee

Appearing unruffled over the flak his attack on Jnanpith awardee Kannada writer Chandrashekara Kambara has drawn in neighbouring Karnataka, Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray on Wednesday warned of a "backlash" in Maharashtra. "Those ruling Karnataka should check the goondas indulging in anti-Marathi activities. Don't let them spark a fire here," Thackeray said. "The Karnataka government should stop police protection to the goondas attacking Marathi," he said.
