Responding to Devendra Fadnavis’s charge that the Shiv Sena was absent when Babri Masjid was destroyed in Ayodhya, Sanjay Raut tweeted a video of veteran BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani who is heard saying that he had to ask the late Pramod Mahajan to go upfront and tell the Marathi-speaking karsevaks to stop the demolition.

Raut also tweeted old newspaper cuttings that said Shiv Sainiks were at the disputed site when the structure was pulled down.
