Smearing ink is a mild reaction: Shiv Sena’s Sanjay Raut

Activist and writer Sudheendra Kulkarni, one of the organisers for former Pakistan foreign minister Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri's book launch in Mumbai, was attacked outside his home allegedly by Shiv Sena members who threw black ink on his face on Monday. The Shiv Sena had threatened to disrupt the launch of Kasuri's book “Neither a Hawk nor a Dove: An Insider's Account of Pakistan's Foreign Policy” scheduled for Monday. Kulkarni said Kasuri is his guest and he had taken a principled stand to go ahead with the book launch.
