Weeks after the Election Commission expressed displeasure over senior leader Sanjay Raut's comments on voting rights of Muslims, the Shiv Sena on Tuesday said all Muslims who consider India their motherland should be given all citizen rights.

"All Muslims who consider India as their motherland and those who are ready to sweat it out for the development of the country are our brothers and they should be given all the rights as citizens of India," the Sena said in an editorial in its mouthpiece 'Saamana'.
