Shiv Sena (Shinde) leader Shaina NC has slammed Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Arvind Sawant for allegedly referring her to as "imported maal". She said that she is a woman and not "maal" and predicted that he will be defeated in the elections by people.

Reacting to Sawant's remark, Shaina NC called it "outraging the modesty of a woman" and questioned the silence of Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders.

"Arvind Sawant took me along for campaigning in the past and now I am 'imported maal'?" she questioned. "I'm not your maal. I'm going to Nagpada police station to file a complaint."

"This reveals the mindset of Arvind Sawant and his party. Does he see every woman in Mumbadevi as 'maal'? He shows no respect for women, using such terms to describe a capable woman in politics," she said.

"Now you will be 'behaal' because you called the woman 'maal'. Whether I take action or not, the public will make him 'behaal'," she added.
