“The present day rulers must take care that seeds of another partition should not be sown from the earlier pain,” an editorial in the Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ said. The Shiv Sena on Monday said the ‘pain of partition’ will not go away by mere symbolism, days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that August 14 will be observed as Partition Horrors Remembrance Day. “The present day rulers must take care that seeds of another partition should not be sown from the earlier pain,” an editorial in the Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ said. It said the ‘pain of partition’ remains even after 75 years, and BJP’s L. K. Advani is the only leader who is a witness to it. “The pain of partition will not go away by mere symbolism, but a definite action is needed,” the Marathi publication said.
