Bhagwat should be Prez to make India Hindu Rashtra: Sena

Following Shiv Sena President Uddhav Thackeray's assertion that in order for the formation of a "Hindu Rashtra" RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat should become the next President of India, the Shiv Sena on Monday echoed similar sentiments and expressed confidence in Bhagwat solving the Kashmir issue.

Shiv Sena's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut told ANI, "We need strong person to solve Kashmir issue and I find Mohan Bhagwat ji appropriate for the presidential race of India."

Thackeray, on Sunday said, "For the first time, we (BJP-led NDA) have received such a strong political mandate. The formation of a Hindu Rashtra is the primary objective and hence, Bhagwat should contest the presidential election."
