Amid the backlash against the BJP spokesperson's controversial remarks on Prophet Muhammad, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday said that the country had to bear the humiliation.

Thackeray preferred to welcome Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat's remark on the 'Shivling', where he stated that "we shouldn't bring out a new matter daily" and "why look for a Shivling in every masjid".
