Learn from US how to deal with terrorism: Bal Thackeray

[1]

Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray on Wednesday exhorted India to "learn" how to deal with terrorism from the US which killed Osama bin Laden without bothering about the reactions of its allies.

In an editorial in Wednesday's Dopahar Ka Saamna, the party's mouthpiece in Hindi, Thackeray said the US showed guts and eliminated Osama inside the heart of Pakistan. "The US forces entered Pakistan and finished off Osama.

It is for this boldness and strategy that the US is the headman of the world," Thackeray noted. He pointed out that the US does not bother about its allies and deals with them as the situation requires and referred to the examples of former Iraq dictator Saddam Hussein and besieged Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi, whose family members were killed in a US attack a day before Osama was gunned down in Pakistan's Abbottabad. In contrast, Thackeray said India's peaceful policies have not permitted her to bring to book most wanted persons like mafia don Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar, gangster Tiger Memon, Jaish-e-Mohammed founder Azhar Masood and many others.
