Shiv Sainiks attack Prof. Borade house
By Arunkumar Bhatt
MUMBAI,
APRIL 15
. The house of the Chairman of the Maharashtra Rajya Sahitya and Sanskruti Mandal, R.R. Borade, was attacked allegedly by Shiv Sena men in Aurangabad today, following the Sena supremo, Bal Thackeray's allegation at a public meeting in Parbhani last evening that the Mandal had published a book having a highly objectionable reference to Chhatrapati Shivaji. Prof. Borade was away when the attackers broke the windowpanes and damaged a car there. Sources in Mumbai said Prof. Borade had been provided with police protection.
The BJP leader, Gopinath Munde, said in a statement that his party would hold demonstrations all over the State to protest against the book.
His colleague, Nitin Gadkari, threatened to file criminal cases against the Chief Minister, Chief Secretary and Prof. Borade. Waving the book at the meeting, Mr. Thackeray had said that in Marathyanchi Prashasan Vyavastha, written by Surendranath Sen and translated by Vijaya Kulkarni, the reference was so offensive that he could not read it. But the most objectionable part was that the book was published by the Mandal, an autonomous literature and cultural body of the State Government. The State Home Minister, R.R. Patil, tried to save the situation by saying that the Mandal had approved the book's publication in 1998 when the Sena-BJP was in power.
