It looks like everyone is out to see who can whip up the most outrageous statements and grab the most eyeballs. A day after the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) issued a 48-hour ultimatum to all Pakistani artistes to leave India, the Samajwadi Party (SP) threw a challenge asking the MNS to send ‘suicide bombers’ to avenge the Uri terror strike, in which 18 of our soldiers were killed.

In a highly irresponsible and ridiculous statement, the Maharashtra chief of SP, Abu Azmi mocked the MNS, saying that since the party is so angry, it should send suicide squads to Pakistan, instead of giving ultimatums to Pak artistes.
