Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Thursday said BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis's remark that Hindus were being targeted in Maharashtra was the "joke of the century".

"Maharashtra has Uddhav Thackeray as the chief minister of the state, who is also the son of the 'Hindu Hriday Samrat' Balasaheb Thackreray. He is also the chief of Shiv Sena, which has made ultimate sacrifice for Hindus. Hence, if someone is saying Hindus are being targeted in the state then it is the joke of the century," he said.
