Times of India - 18/3/09
While the BJP is keen to keep Varun Gandhi at a safe distance, the Shiv Sena has backed the great grandson of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru for his pro-Hindutva views.
Endorsing Varun’s election speech, Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamna’ said the young BJP leader has embers of Hindutva burning in his heart. ‘‘Varun is of a tender age. The BJP should not disown him. He is a different Gandhi. While one Gandhi asked Hindus to offer their second cheek to Muslims, Varun says Hindus should retaliate. We are in love with this second Gandhi,’’ said an editorial in ‘Saamna’ on Wednesday.
The BJP may find the ‘Saamna’ leader comment more embarrassing that Varun’s rhetoric. Bal Thackeray is the editor of ‘Saamna’.
