Mumbai, July 11 -- In a blistering attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and MLA Aaditya Thackeray accused the ruling party of using the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) debate as a diversionary tactic to deflect attention from alleged donation embezzelment at Ayodhya Ram Mandir.

Taking a sharp dig at the party, Thackeray claimed that the Shiv Sena (UBT) is the one "protecting Lord Ram from the BJP," which he rechristened as the "Babar Janata Party."

"We are protecting Lord Ram from the BJP. The BJP has now become the 'Babar Janata Party.' The BJP is bringing up the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) debate only to distract the country from the alleged Ram Mandir loot. We will not let that happen," Thackeray told ANI.
