Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray criticised the BJP over the alleged donation embezzlement at the Ayodhya Ram temple, saying, "We want a 'BJP-mukt Ram'." He further said, "A robber can't be asked to probe the robbery committed by him." "If anyone loots a temple by misusing Hindutva, then Hindus won't spare them," he added.
