Uddhav Thackeray pats Sena workers who blackened Kulkarni's face
Mumbai, Oct 13: Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray today felicitated six party workers who allegedly smeared ORF chairman Sudheendra Kulkarni's face with black paint to protest former Pakistan Foreign Minister Khurshid Mahmood Kasuri's book launch in Mumbai.
"During his meeting with these activists, Uddhavji patted them for their work," a source close to the Sena leader told PTI.

The six -- Gajanand Patil, Dinesh Prasad, Ashok Waghmare, Prakash Husbe, Samadhan Jadhav and Venkatesh Nair -- were yesterday arrested and later released.
Meanwhile, Sudheendra Kulkarni, the chairman of Observer and Research Foundation which had yesterday organised Kasuri's book launch event, today described himself as an "agent of peace" and not a "Pakistani agent" as labelled by Shiv Sena and asked the saffron party to respect other people's freedom of expression.
"I have been labelled a Pakistani agent in Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana'. I respect their freedom of expression. They should also respect others' freedom of expression," Kulkarni said at a press conference in Mumbai.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had yesterday disapproved of Shiv Sena's protests, saying the issue has brought disrepute to the state.
"We may not agree with views of somebody but when a foreign dignitary or a diplomat arrives on a valid visa and holds a programme, which is not illegal, it's the duty of a state to provide protection," Fadnavis had said.
