India has said that it had taken strong action against those who made controversial remarks against minorities.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday said that the country had to bear the humiliation due to unwarranted remarks by a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson.
Thackeray preferred to welcome Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat's remark on the 'Shivling', where he stated that "we shouldn't bring out a new matter daily" and "why to look for a Shivling in every masjid".

As he took a jibe at the BJP over the suspension of spokesperson Nupur Sharma over her alleged controversial religious remark, the chief minister said, "Due to a statement of a spokesperson of the BJP, the nation had to bear the humiliation. Here, in the state BJP is making issues about loudspeakers & other things."
The remarks of the Chief Minister came after Sharma attracted sharp reactions from the Gulf countries. India, however, said that it had taken strong action against those who made controversial remarks against minorities.

Further taking a swipe at the opposition BJP in the state, the Chief Minister said that his government completed the 2.5 years at the office "against the dreams of some people".
Referring to the recent targeted killings in Jammu and Kashmir, Thackeray said, "We completed 2.5 yrs of govt against the dreams of some people (BJP). They create an atmosphere to demonstrate that things are not right here. Rather than making ED& CBI run after us, focus on the situation of Kashmiri Pandits in Jammu and Kashmir."
Thackeray said, "The Shiv Sena's long-time ally BJP could capture power in Delhi (the Centre) only because of the help rendered by the late Sena founder Bal Thackeray."
