Mumbai, Feb 5 (ANI): The Nationalist Communist Party (NCP) has expressed disappointment over Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi's remarks on the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.

Mumbai NCP President Madhukar Pichad termed Gandhi's comments on north Indian NSG commandoes saving Mumbai from terrorists' attacks as wrong.

"One must not forget that Tukaram Ombale, who sacrificed his life to ensure that Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab was caught alive, was a Marathi Manoos. Therefore, it is wrong to debate on which region the saviours of Mumbai came from," Pichad said.

Gandhi took on the Shiv Sena and the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) during his Bihar visit and reminded both political outfits that the commandoes who saved Mumbai during the 26/11 terror attacks were north Indians.

On Tuesday, he said every inch of India belongs to every Indian.

Reacting, Shiv Sena Executive President Uddhav Thackeray said, "Rahul should not interfere in Marathi affairs. Rahul should stop all this or we won't allow him into Mumbai."

Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray also critized Rahul Gandhi's "Mumbai for all Indians" comment by saying, "Mumbai may belong to all Indians, but how can it belong to an Italian mummy."

In Shiv Sena mouthpiece 'Saamna', Thackeray said: "Mumbai was not a guesthouse of the country that anyone comes to Mumbai and leaves. Mumbai belongs to Maharashtra and the Marathi people. If anyone is going to murder this truth, he will have to face the weapons of Maharashtra."(ANI)
