'We want to turn Pakistan into a Hindu Rashtra': Maharashtra minister Nitesh Rane

NEW DELHI: Maharashtra minister and BJP minister

Nitesh Rane

on Thursday said that his party aims to turn Pakistan into a "

Hindu Rashtra

."
Posting on X, Rane responded to Shiv Sena (UBT) leader's recent claim that Union home minister Amit Shah wants to make India a "

Hindu Pakistan

."
"But we want to turn Pakistan into a Hindu Rashtra. Keep this in mind and stay within your limits," Rane wrote in Marathi.

His remarks appeared to reference Raut's column in 'Saamana', where he accused the BJP of fuelling communal divisions and steering India toward becoming a "Hindu Pakistan."
Rane has previously demanded the removal of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s tomb from Khultabad in

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar

and had referred to Kerala as a "Mini Pakistan."
