The Shiv Sena (UBT) has launched a scathing attack on the BJP-led Mahayuti government in Maharashtra, accusing it of applying 'selective standards' in its response to crimes against women. In a recent editorial in the party's mouthpiece, Saamana, the party highlighted the Nashik IT company controversy, termed a 'corporate jihad', where allegations surfaced that Muslim employees lured Hindu women into sexual exploitation. The editorial juxtaposed this with serious accusations against Hindu godman Ashok Kharat, who is alleged to have exploited multiple women under the guise of religious practices. The party criticized the lack of outrage regarding Kharat's case, suggesting that public and political responses are influenced by the religious identity of the accused. The editorial called for a unified and consistent condemnation of all exploitation, emphasizing that crimes against women should not be viewed through a communal lens. The Shiv Sena (UBT) concluded that genuine concern for justice requires addressing wrongdoings within all communities equally.
