'Where were your warriors': Ex-commando slams Raj Thackeray amid Marathi row

Delhi: On the Marathi language row, ex-Marine Commando Praveen Kumar Teotia, who led the team during the counter-terrorist operations after the 26/11 attack at Mumbai's Taj Hotel, says, "When the 26/11 terrorist attack happened, their (MNS) so-called warriors hid and could not be found anywhere. He (Raj Thackeray) himself, along with Uddhav Thackeray and his family, could also not be found... People who saved others, such as army personnel, are primarily from UP and Bihar... I was there, handled the situation, and faced the terrorists. I am also from UP and come from a village of Chaudhary Charan Singh. So, don't teach us politics. Separate politics from language. We take pride in Marathi, but people shouldn't politicise it. If you want to do politics, focus on developmental work and jobs. Raj Thackeray and MNS have not done any developmental work yet..."
