Whose par-tree is this?

Not just Mumbai, artists from the rest of Maharashtra are also adding a fresh lick of paint to the Save Aarey movement by amplifying its cause. One of them is Shubham Jinde, a Pune-based caricature artist and cartoonist. Jinde’s evocative artwork portrays two crying trees donning a sash of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) symbol. “Mumbai has only SGNP and Aarey to hold on to in terms of green spaces. If we don’t protest now, then once some form of development project starts, there will be no stopping. I have noticed that whenever a critic of the government joins the ruling party, the cases against them disappear. If the trees join BJP, too, then will they finally be saved?” he asks us.
