After the incidents of stone-pelting were reported in some parts of Maharashtra, Shiv Sena leader and Member of Parliament Sanjay Raut asked that "why violence is happening in Maharashtra over Tripura incidents?"

Referring to the Tripura violence incident, Shiv Sena leader said, "The question arises that if violence against Hindus takes place in Bangladesh, its reactions happen
in Tripura and to that reaction, riots take place in parts of Maharashtra, why no reaction when Kashmiri Pandits were killed in Kashmir when a Colonel in Manipur along with his family were killed in a terrorist attack. Hindus are everywhere, why reactions (riots) only in Maharashtra? Is this part of some conspiracy in Tripura which is affecting the whole nation?"
