Sanjay Raut apologizes after saying Indira is coming to meet Don Karimlala

New delhi date. January 16, 2020, Thursday

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut made the controversial statement that late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was coming to visit Mumbai's underworld don Karimlala. However, in the wake of controversy over this, he on Thursday apologized to the Congress leaders.

On the other hand, after Raut's statement, the controversy over the images of Indira Gandhi and Karimlala was deepened. Karimlala's office has a picture of her meeting with Indira Gandhi and NCP chief Sharad Pawar and former Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray also claimed to have visited Karimlala's grandson.

Shiv Sena leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut on Wednesday made a swearing in statement by saying that he was coming to meet Indira Gandhi underworld don Karimlala. His statement echoed sharp echoes in Congress.

However, as the controversy over the issue grew, Sanjay Raut withdrew his statement. "Our Congress friends do not need to suffer," he said. If my statement hurt anyone, Indira Gandhi's image was damaged or if someone's emotions got hurt, I withdraw my statement.

On the other hand, after the statement of Sanjay Raut, Karimlala's grandson made a new disclosure that his meeting with Indira Gandhi was in the picture of Karimlala's office. Not only that, NCP chief Sharad Pawar and Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray also came to visit him and there are pictures with him.

BJP targeted Congress after Sanjay Raut's statement. Former chief minister and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis quoted Raut's statement, saying that the Shiv Sena leader had made a big reveal.

At the same time, he has raised several questions against Congress. Why did Indira Gandhi come to meet Karimlala? Did Congress win elections with the support of the underworld? Did Congress receive funding from the underworld? Did Congress need Muscle Power to win the election?

Amid the controversy, a picture of Indira Gandhi and Karimlala has been circulating on social media. However, the origin of the picture is that in 1973, the poet Dilinath Chattopadhyay was honored with the Padma Bhushan by the Government of India. It was at this time that Karimlala accompanied him to Rashtrapati Bhavan, where he met Indira Gandhi.
