Mumbai Stepping up its offensive on Malegaon blast probe issue, Shiv Sena on Wednesday called a 'Maharashtra bandh' on December 1 accusing the UPA government of hatching a 'conspiracy to malign Hindus' and protesting alleged custodial torture of accused Sadhvi Pragya Singh.
"Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray has given the call for statewide bandh on December 1 to show the might of Hindus to the government", Sena MP Sanjay Raut said.
"Hindus will have to show their power to the government which is engaged in a systematic campaign to malign them", Raut said.
Asked if any other party had supported the bandh call, Raut said, "We have not asked others. We are not bothered about repercussions of the bandh call".
The Sena has on several occasions in the past few days, raised concerns over the manner in which Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) is probing the blast case.
