Siddiqui has sought Rs100 crore in damages from his ex-wife Aaliya alias Zainab Siddiqui and his brother Shamasuddin Siddiqui for allegedly making defamatory and false statements against him.

The defamation suit will likely be heard in the Bombay High Court on March 30 by a single bench of Justice Riyaz Chagla.

The actor, embroiled in a matrimonial dispute with his former wife, requested the HC to permanently restrain Aaliya and his brother from making any statements or remarks that would defame him.

He also sought a written apology from the duo.

Shinde said the Thackeray-led outfit had crossed all limits when they joined the Congress in opposing Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification as Lok Sabha MP on March 24 after a court in Surat in Gujarat sentenced him to two years in jail in a defamation case.

“What are you (Thackeray) going to do when you say you are not going to tolerate Savarkar’s insult. You need to show that courage,” Shinde said.

“If you have the guts, then show it by doing what Balasaheb Thackeray did,” he said, adding that the Shiv Sena founder late Bal Thackeray had launched a “joda mara abhiyaan” (hitting with slippers) in 2004 against the then

Union minister and Congressman Mani Shankar Aiyar for his remarks against Savarkar.

At a rally on Sunday, Thackeray had asked Gandhi to refrain from “insulting” Savarkar, who he considered as his “idol”.

Shinde termed Thackeray’s move as “belated wisdom”.

Rather, on the contrary, everyone agitated to save Rahul Gandhi’s membership of parliament,” alleged Shinde.

To become like Savarkar, one needs to sacrifice and have love for the country, Shinde said.

Shinde also took a swipe at Uddhav Thackeray’s condemnation of Rahul’s remark.

“They talk about Hindutva but they remain quiet for (the sake of) politics and the Maha Vikas Aghadi (alliance). This is their double standard,” Shinde alleged.
