Political temper: Vishwa Hindu Sena president announces Rs 51 lakh reward on Narayan Rane’s head

Vishwa Hindu Sena president Arun Pathak announced a reward of Rs 51 lakh for beheading Union Minister Narayan Rane.

Pathak, who is reportedly absconding for three months in the case of pasting the posters of the prime minister and the chief minister in Varanasi is said to have announced a reward of Rs 51 lakh for beheading Rane on Facebook and Twitter.

Pathak is wanted in the case registered at Bhelupur police station but the police have failed to trace him.

Arun Pathak wrote on Facebook and Twitter that a reward of 51 lakh would be given to the one who beheads Union Minister Narayan Rane.

He also tweeted that the ashes of Narayan Rane will not be allowed to be immersed in Kashi. It was Balasaheb who made Narayan Rane a Shiv Sainik and to get cheap popularity, Rane attacked Balasaheb’s son, he stated.

Senior officials, meanwhile, did not comment on the incident.

Shiv Sena justified action against Rane for his slap slur against Uddhav Thackeray.

For the unversed, Narayan Rane during his Jan Ashirwad Yatra in Raigad stoked a huge controversy over his remarks about slapping Chief Minister Thackeray on August 23. Rane said, “It is shameful that the chief minister does not know the year of independence. He leaned back to enquire about the count of years of independence during his speech. Had I been there, I would have given (him) a tight slap.”
