Prakash Mahajan lambasts Sushma, defends Rahul

Mumbai, June 15: Prakash Mahajan, the newly-appointed chief organiser of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) and younger brother of late senior BJP leader Pramod Mahajan, today came down heavily on the leader Sushma Swaraj for describing Rahul's drug incident as ''the Mahajan family matter''.

''Being a mother, Sushma should have realised the feelings of my 'bhabhi' (sister-in-law) and should have at least visited Rahul when he was undergoing medical treatment in the hospital,'' said the grey-haired Mr Mahajan, not mincing any words against her.

''If the elder brother (Pramod) was in the BJP, the younger could join any other political outfit,'' he said and cited the instance of Acharya Kriplani and his wife Sucheta, who were in two different political parties.

When asked about Pravin Mahajan's statement that Rahul was the victim of bad company, Mr Mahajan countered that in which bad company Pravin was that he had killed their elder brother, who raised them after their father's demise.

''Rahul is innocent and is the victim of the political conspiracy and we will try to save him,'' he added.

Earlier, M N S Chief Raj Thackeray said that Prakash met him in January when Pramod was alive, and expressed his desire to join his political outfit.
