Uddhav Thackeray is an Indian politician and the son of Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray. He served as the 19th Chief Minister of Maharashtra, forming a coalition — the Maha Vikas Aghadi — with the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). Uddhav Thackeray entered politics in 2002 when he joined the Shiv Sena’s campaign as the in-charge of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections, and he was elected party head in 2013 following Balasaheb Thackeray’s death in 2012.
In 2022, three years after the Maha Vikas Aghadi government to power, the Shiv Sena the split, with senior leader Eknath Shinde rebelling along with several lawmakers. They joined hands with the BJP to form the government in Maharashtra. Today, Uddhav Thackeray’s party is know as the Shiv Sena (UBT). The rebels criticised Uddhav Thackeray partnering with centre-left parties such as the Congress and the NCP, which showed a softer approach to politics, a change from the party’s hardcore pro-Hindu image.
Besides politics, Uddhav Thackeray is a photographer, with two books to his credit and his work displayed in Mumbai’s top art galleries.
Communists and Missionaries are involved.
1. Hypocrisy: “The rule has been that these villagers don’t interfere with anyone and don’t let anyone else interfere in their customs and traditions” how did travellers passing in a car interfere in their customs? And killing travellers waiting at forest outpost for clearance is not interference?
2. Hundreds of people assembling with sticks and sickles at night during lockdown is not premeditated?
3. The policemen instead of protecting the travelers and controlling the mob feed the 70 year old traveller to the murderous mob and run back to their vehicle? Recorded visuals viral on the net show the traveller holding the hand of the policemen like he is pleading while he’s kicked on the back possibly by policemen.
4. Who tells villagers that someone waiting at the outpost are thieves? The person who gives such information obviously wanted them lynched.. for the colour of dress they were wearing?
5. Had it been perchance holy men from Christian or Muslim minority passing in a car would they have been lynched? What message does this murder convey?
6. Nice that “this report has been updated to correctly reflect that CPI(M) leader Vinod Nikhole is the MLA of Dahanu and not BJP’s Paskal Janya Dhanagare”.
The police clearly pushed the Sadhus towards the Mob.
Going by your reporting on beef killing and how you justified the fact that he has a right to sell whatever he wants and how lynching was undemocratic and ruthless act of BJP whereas the govt then was of Samajwadi. Police belongs to the state and is a puppet of the date government.
This is called convinient reporting..
The print it was the first time I read your articles, I read two of them.I am an avid reader, writer and Counselor, I have come across too many shitty angles and stories but yours are the shittiest ever.You right fiction, do you even have real journalists?
The Print, Get out if India. We don’t need you. Stop breaking India.
This is massacre of hindu faith and it’s not as small as your article read. We are totally shocked after looking the video. Extent of cruelty how badly they were beaten to death even in the presence of police. heinous crime I wonder why people of such type are still alive on the earth they are not human but demons without horn and tail.
You people want to save india from going back to the simi and im times but you shall have a thought that your journalism pains a lot the vast majority of this country because you try to justify even their murder. I love all sections of the society but you people are biased and it is because of you people that our society keeps fighting. You have double standards and you people are failing in your profession of journalism.
How convenient that the tribals most of whom have converted to Christianity but their names still sound to be Hindus, mistakenely lynch saffron clad septuagenarian sadhu thinking that he was a liquor thief that too under the watch of police over a period of at least 3 hours. Why doesn’t Haima Deshpande demand that hindus must hand over their safekeeping to non-hindus. Is she a born hindu in the first place ?
Two innocent Hindu sadhus lynched by a Christian mob. That is what I gather from your report.
I can imagine the outrage of the left-illiberal media if the victims had belonged to a minority community.
From your article about the incident, it’s obvious that the converted tribals’ minds had already been poisoned against Hindus and sadhus so that the Christian tribals had very little compunction in murdering the Hindu ascetics.
Ohh…how believable…sadhus come looking for alcohol to steal…Tell ur fake news somewhere else, Print. Make no mistake this was a communal killing …the missionaries have told their henchmen to guard their flock from Hinduism. That’s why the inhuman anger against Hindu sadhus.
This article is nothing but propaganda.
Print owner is from congress agent! You cannot expect more than this reporting!
Fake article and a pure example of hinduphobia
Shameful even by your pathetic standards. If it’s some minority person killed in a fight for a seat it becomes a national disaster and communal hand of the RSS is seen but when Hindu saints are brutally thrashed it is only a petty incident of liquor theft. Shameful really and your website stinks will communist piss.
CORRECTION: The car that the victims were traveling in is a Maruti Suzuki Eeco van, and not a Ford EcoSport as mentioned in the article.
How do you call yourself a journalist for justifying mob killing in name of some rubbish theory. Problem is conversion and the hate missionaries spread.
Wow this is just pathetic . I know the times are tough but that doesn’t mean u guys should hire ‘journalist’ like haima Deshpande who probably doesn’t even know how to spell the word . Shame
Presstitute ThePrint.. You have no credibility and you are known to be Anti Hindu and Anti India..
See how narrative are being set by media mujaheed in name of Secularism that like what arab did in 6 the ad to 1700 ad. In name of idol worshiper they killed millions Hindu n destroyed their temple.
Haima Deshpande- Please stop your yellow journalism and don’t try to brush the issue under the carpet.
The car that the victims were traveling in is a Maruti Suzuki Eeco. The article wrongly mentions it as a Ford Ecosport.
You have no right to be in journalism profession, if you job is to spread fake news and twist facts. Probably, you are a rice bag convert still using Hindu identity.
(1) The two killed were not “tribal” (2) As per you, Saffron is the dress code of Thieves and any one who wears saffron dress can be easily considered as THIEVES. (3) This is how you perfectly twisted facts ” (thieves) trying to steal liquor” – WHF, any thief would use costly SUV to steal desi liquor and that too in a Adivasi area. (4) For your knowledge – rice bag converts have floated another theory that they (Hindu saints) were were mistaken as child snatchers. (5) For your knowledge – Killers were not from the same village. They were from multiple villages. It means this was a pre-planned attack.
Did sum paper got exchanged…did u get sum other story printed mistakenly?
Filthy rats of #ThePrint
Tribals are converted and brainwashed against Hindus, they are fed with hatred. Police inaction and role is highly deplorable. They should be charged with murder.
The tribal hamlets are not republics. They must be severely punished.
If Muslims or Christians lynched by Hindus that will become international sensation by media, secularists …when sadhus killed by hate filled converted Christians then all secular govt try to portray it as a normal incident….RSS, Hindu organizations must stop these conversions by luring with money and items by missionaries all over India…..If hindus become minority , hindustan never exist in future
Wrong information…
Current MLA is Nikole of CPI not BJP
Infact only MLA of CPI in Maharastra.
And BJP sarpanch had been threatened by relatives of accused for revealing names of violent mob to the police. So it’s BJP sarpanch helping police to nab the suspects.
Palghar Dahanu is hotbed christain missionaries and Communist ideologue which you intentionally not mentioned. And try to paint it as BJP fortress.
The incident is result constant hate of missionaries and left ideology against Hindus.
All 5 accused named in FIR are workers of communist party. How can ignore all this.
1. Sadhus were not tribals, sadhus take no castes or identities but they belonged to who become monks of hindu order
2. You say tribals don’t allow anyone to interfere so how were they converted to Christianity in the first place? Is that not interference?
3. Have you bothered to take the angle of “heathen” as Christianity commands to kill “heathens” aka dis-believers which saffron clad sadhus were.
4. The lynching happened in dahanu constituency of palgarh district where CPI(M) candidate had won, a party for whom lynching has been a tool to use since it’s inception.
This is for the first time that details of this nature has come to light. No one has explained nor details given of the people who live there and their profession. BJP and RSS finding it difficult to accept Uddhav Thakre showing them the door and come to align with the secular forces in the state are desperate in trying to find one or the other reasons to malign them. No one has mentioned that the population living there are all Scheduled tribe and many of them have taken to Christianity but this has happened long ago not during this regime no one knew the details of the Sadhus taking to different route avoiding Police and not listening to the police were caught in their own trap and the incident happened. But why should BJP RSS combined should spare any such incident that may bring them dividend and discredit this Govt. in Maharashtra. Thanks The Print.
Did you watch the video even once – you seriously are a heartless , evil psycho maniac you could still write something like this – you should have been in the place of those three innocent men
Why did the police hand over the Hindu Sadhu to the Mob? Uddhav Thackeray said FIR was registered on the same day that is the 16th but the official FIR date shows 18th. Why did he lie? Who was he trying to shield? Why didn’t police fire in the air to scare the mob away? These questions raise a lot of doubts on the Police complicity in the case. The print has woken up now. It seems it is just a way to do damage control. No one trusts you.
Did you read this article in detail and then question such things. Why these Sadhus who were stopped by Police took to different route through jungle ? Moreover, lynching is bad and worse but lynching Aqlaque is also bad and worse. If a ruling party at the centre encourages lynching of certain community and condemn other it is what? Worse than being Hippocratic.
So tomorrow if you go through some other route, you deserve to die? Are you terrosist or maoist?
Ruling party in center is last hope for Hindus and never did any lynching, unlike your side.. killing hindus since centuries..
In year 2019 , Dahanu constituency is represented by CPI(M) and not by BJP. Kindly check this fact and many other facts about this incidence rather than cooking up fancy novel like story
This is a fake article. To hide reality of Communist brutality and to protect those who convert people, the media is doing what it should never do. .. i.e. to hide truth. If this is about theft then why those three ” so called thieves” were not arrested by police? On the other hand police were escorting ! Also where ever communists have some presence they indulge in killing opponents like in Kerala. The author inadvertently tells you that BJP has taken over the political space which was earlier occupied by communists. So the anger of those communists and so the present rulers of Maharashtra hatched the conspiracy to commit this crime along with communists
We should stop this conversions. Converting increasing hate against Hindus. There will be future ghettos will start. Mostly uneducated ppl are converted. Some missionaries are increasing hate.
So when BJP raises the issue of Hindus lynched by Christians, it is communalising the issue! Brilliant analysis. The Print has a very poor impression of the intellect of its readers.
This article seems to purposefully adds “illegal liquor economy” angle to the Palghar lynchings. Whether somebody claimed or the author cooked up this angle one thing is clear that Haima, the author of this article is far from being objective. Politics seems to guide this article.
What crap.
These innocent men were killed on purpose. But since they are Hindu monks, there is obviously no communal angle
Stop the whitewashing. Tell it like it is.
