"Where is democracy if you are relying on the Enforcement Directorate and the Central Bureau of Investigation?" Uddhav Thackeray said
Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, in an attack on the BJP-led Central government following the arrest of close aide Sanjay Raut, compared it to the rule of German dictator Hitler. He said during the Second World War, at one point Hitler seemed to be winning, and a cartoonist kept exposing him. "Hitler wanted him dead," Mr Thackeray said, then added that the example of the Nazi chief was "given by my father, the Hindu Hriday Samrat".
"Where is democracy if you are relying on the Enforcement Directorate and the Central Bureau of Investigation?" he said.
Mr Thackeray said he was proud of Mr Raut, who did not succumb to any pressure, reported news agency Press Trust of India.
