Mumbai: NCB zonal director Sameer Wankhede’s wife Kranti Redkar Wankhede on Thursday wrote to CM Uddhav Thackeray seeking justice “in view of personal attacks” on her and her family. In her letter, she stated she is a “Marathi manoos” and has “grown up seeing Shiv Sena fighting for rights of Maharashtrians.” She wrote, “I am standing alone against those attacking my personal life every day on social media. In Shivaji Maharaj’s state, a woman’s dignity is being violated... I have grown up with the principles of Balasaheb Thackeray, and have learnt not to do injustice nor take injustice. Today I have resolved... I will stand and fight and defend myself and my family. The family has become a talking point.” She further wrote, “I am an artist, I don’t understand politics and don’t even want to fall for it. Every morning, we are humiliated, and that too in Shiv Sena’s rule.” She stated that “if Balasaheb had been here, he wouldn’t have tolerated how a Maharashtrian family had been dragged into politics and was having to face humiliation.” She added she has a lot of hope “from the Marathi CM for protection of her family.” - Ahmed Ali
