Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut has come under BJP fire over his social media post referring to the reported burning of Albania’s Supreme Court, with several leaders accusing him of promoting anarchy and demanding an apology.
BJP termed Sanjay Raut’s language outrageous and indefensible, and accused him of threatening the government and the Supreme Court.
In his post on X, Raut wrote, “The people of Albania have burned down the Supreme Court. The protesting public has also attacked the parliament and government offices, as well as the ministers’ homes. All countries should learn a lesson from these events. Especially India. Reacting to the post, BJP accused Raut of threatening the government and the Supreme Court. “Sanjay Raut is sounding like a modern-day Mir Jafar using treacherous language against India’s constitutional institutions and our people’s mandate. “They want anarchy. First, they insulted and abused the President, then the Election Commission, and then the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Now, they want the Supreme Court to be burned. The people of India will not tolerate anarchy. “He is saying that lessons should be learned from how the Supreme Court in Albania was set on fire. What message is he trying to convey?

Because the Supreme Court was helping corrupt prime ministers, the people were enraged.
The Indefensible and outrageous language used of Sanjay Raut threatens sovereignty and integrity of India and betrays Rahul Gandhi’s and his ecosystem’s diabolical emergency mentality,” Kesavan said. A contempt petition against Sanjay Raut is currently underway in the Supreme Court, and he will get his answer there,” he said. Uddhav Thackeray should apologise to the Supreme Court for the kind of statement Sanjay Raut has made,” he told IANS. The Supreme Court must look into this,” Raut said.
