The trigger for the attack on Sadiq was apparently uploading of derogatory pictures of warrior king Shivaji and late Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray.
BJP MP from Pune, where a techie was bludgeoned to death on Monday allegedly by members of a Hindutva outfit, on Thursday said some repercussions to the Facebook post derogatory of Shivaji and Bal Thackeray was “natural”.
“What appeared on Facebook was very painful. Some amount of repercussions was natural,” Anil Shirole told reporters outside Parliament.
