| 2015-10-14 |
| [DAWN] Former foreign minister Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri survived dire threats from the rightwing Shiv Sena A Hindoo nationalist political movement that presents a resistance using the same nasty tactics to aggressive Islamists and that's a pain in the underwear to other Indian political parties... ahead of his book launch in Mumbai on Monday while his host Sudheendra Kulkarni was plastered with black paint by Pakistain-baiting protesters. "I welcome Mr Kasuri to this great city. I thank him for coming even though we already had indications about some forces threatening him," Mr Kulkarni told a news conference, hours after his face was smeared with paint. Mr Kasuri sat by his side at the press meet, the painted face glistening in camera lights. Mr Kulkarni blamed the Shiv Sena for the attack on him and said the group had threatened to disrupt the launch of Kasuri's book in "typical Shiv Sena style". He added: "Even then the scheduled launch will be held as planned." Former Deputy Prime Minister of India, L.K. Advani condemned the attack on Sudheendra Kulkarni, his erstwhile aide. "I strongly condemn whosoever has done this," said Mr Advani, adding that "of late we have seen an increase in cases of intolerance, this is against democracy." |
