AIMIM is B team of BJP Thorat on Waris Pathan''s remarks

    Pune, Feb 21 (PTI) Maharashtra Minister Balasaheb
Thorat on Friday said the AIMIM was the "B team" of the BJP.
    He was replying to questions on AIMIM leader Waris
Pathan's reported statement that 15 crore Muslims would be
more than a match for 100 crore Hindus.
    Pathan has been widely condemned for reportedly
stating that "15 crore hain lekin 100 crore pe bhari hain".
    He purportedly made these comments while addressing an
anti-Citizenship Amendment Act rally in Kalaburagi in north
Karnataka on February 16. The AIMIM leader has claimed he was
quoted out of context.
    "AIMIM is the B team of BJP and they are making such
statements as they have been unable to divide society on CAA
and NRC," Thorat said here. PTI COR
