MH : Give Bharat Ratna to Balasaheb Thackeray; Thackeray group MPs demand All Shiv Sena MPs have officially demanded through a press conference that Balasaheb Thackeray should be given Bharat Ratna, and MP Raut said that instead of tweeting greetings, give Balasaheb Bharat Ratna. Mumbai- Today is the birth anniversary of Shiv Sena chief Balasaheb Thackeray. On this occasion, Shiv Sena Thackeray group has organized various programs today, and Uddhav Thackeray himself will guide all the office bearers at a gathering in Andheri. This gathering is considered important as the elections to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and other local bodies, which are considered the identity of the Thackeray group, are now approaching. It is equally important to see what guidance Uddhav Thackeray gives to the workers in this gathering. However, before all this, all Shiv Sena MPs have officially demanded through a press conference that Balasaheb Thackeray should be given Bharat Ratna, and MP Sanjay Raut said that instead of tweeting greetings, give Balasaheb Bharat Ratna. Today is the birth anniversary of the Hindu heart king Balasaheb Thackeray: In the press conference, MP Sanjay Raut said, "We have been sent by Uddhav Thackeray to hold this press conference. Today is the birth anniversary of the Hindu heart king Balasaheb Thackeray. Today Balasaheb is not with us. But we get to see Balasaheb in every corner of Maharashtra. The self-respect of Maharashtra that we call today, the identity of Maharashtra, this self-respect is left only because of Balasaheb. For this reason, he is called the center of the Marathi mind. Those people who met Balasaheb while he was alive, those people are really lucky. We have been with him for many years. Therefore, we also consider ourselves lucky. Even though Balasaheb is not with us today, we have always kept him with us because of his thoughts," Sanjay Raut also said. Give Bharat Ratna to Balasaheb: Speaking further, MP Sanjay Raut said, "The birth centenary year of Balasaheb Thackeray is starting in 2026. In all these years, Shiv Sena has not asked for anything for Balasaheb. But now the time has come. All Hindus, including us, are demanding that Balasaheb be honored with the Bharat Ratna award. In fact, this demand has never been made in the last 12 years. This demand was made in Parliament. It was made in the legislature. But it was never done like this by holding a press conference. The Modi government has given Bharat Ratna to many for politics. But if we really want to honor those who gave identity to the Hindus of this country, the people of Maharashtra as Marathi, then Balasaheb should be given Bharat Ratna," Raut also said. Ram Mandir Balasaheb's Gift: "Balasaheb was not in any position in the country. But he ruled the hearts of the people. After Lokmanya Tilak and Swatantryaveer Savarkar, if anyone fought for Hindutva, it was Balasaheb Thackeray. Whenever Hindus were attacked anywhere in the country, Balasaheb stood there. The Ram Mandir built by this government is Balasaheb's gift. We have not written any correspondence demanding the Bharat Ratna award. Because this is a matter that comes under the jurisdiction of the Union Home Ministry. This is a matter of complete authority of the Prime Minister and the Home Minister. There is a committee of the Central Government, which decides on this. Instead of greeting Prime Minister Modi and Amit Shah by tweeting, the Shiv Sena MPs have demanded today that Balasaheb should be honored by giving him the Bharat Ratna.
