Shiv Sena Mocks BJP; Asks If Khalistanis, Pakistanis Cause Bird-Flu In India

Maharashtra's Shiv Sena government, through its mouthpiece Saamana, on January 11 took a jibe on the Bharatiya Janata Party asking if Pakistanis, Khalistanis and Naxalites have caused the bird-flu in India. Shiv Sena's taunt was targetted at the BJP's alleged remarks of separatists being behind the ongoing farmers protest. It also blamed the farm laws for hindering rural economy during bird-flu. Meanwhile, Maharashtra has become the eighth state to register bird-flu and avian influenza cases.
