Thackeray has lost mental balance: Cong

"The Sena chief appears to have lost his mental balance after his party's defeat in the recent elections and by indulging in personal attack on Rahul he has crossed all limits of decency," Congress Legislature Party leader Pramod Tewari told newspersons here.

He said if Thackeray continued with it, he would be forced to face questions on the "suspicious' death of his son and the exit of daughter-in-law from his house.
The Congress leader said, it was to remain in media attention that the Sena leader had been attacking leading personalities like Mukesh Ambani, Shahrukh Khan, Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Gandhi.

Tewari also asked the BJP to clarify the status of its ties with Shiv Sena after the latter's attack on north Indians. The AICC general secretary had flayed Sena for its tirade against people from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh telling that the NSG men who vanquished terrorists during 26/11 were also from the rest of the country.

Stepping up its attack on Rahul for the "Mumbai for all Indians" remark and raking up Sonia Gandhi's foreign origin, party supremo Bal Thackeray said in an editorial in the party mouthpiece Saamna, "Mumbai may belong to all Indians but how can it belong to an Italian mummy."
