After Attack, Ex-Navy Officer's "Resign" Jibe At Uddhav Thackeray

Madan Sharma, the retired Naval officer who was assaulted Friday - allegedly by members of the ruling Shiv Sena - hit out at Uddhav Thackeray this evening, telling the Maharashtra Chief Minister "if you can't look after law and order, then resign and let people decide...".
Mr Sharma, who was attacked for sharing a cartoon mocking Mr Thackeray, also demanded that "all political workers and organisations of Uddhav Thackerayji should seek (an) apology from the entire nation".

"I'm injured and stressed. What happened, is saddening. I'd like to tell Uddhav Thackeray that if you can't look after law and order, then resign and let people decide who should," Mr Sharma was quoted by news agency ANI.

"All workers and organisations of Uddhav Thackerayji should seek (an) apology from the entire nation... such an incident (should) not take place again with anyone else," he added.

"If something happens to me or my family, I will blame Uddhav Thackeray," he said, according to news agency PTI.
