MUMBAI: The Shiv Sena on Monday attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party, terming the decision to release Karan Johars film "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil" as an attempt "to politicize the sacrifices of Indian Army soldiers". "There were threats to burn the screens if ADHM and other Bollywood films featuring Pakistani actors were released... Now, no problems... He might even use it to scratch his ears," the Sena said in a sharp edit in the party mouthpiece Saamana. Tomorrow, Pakistani artistes will start coming with cheques of Rs 5 crore and 'watch the tamasha' here. But our activists sufferd... We want to keep alive the flame of patriotism in each and every Indian, Shiv Sena is not the sole custodian of patriotism and love for the country," it noted.
