MUMBAI: Shiv Sena's chief spokesperson and party's Member of Parliament Sanjay Raut has triggered a controversy by claiming that the former Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi, used to go and meet yesteryear's gangster Karim Lala in Mumbai. “There was a time when Dawood Ibrahim, Chhota Shakeel, Sharad Shetty used to decide who would be Police Commissioner of Mumbai and who would sit in the Mantralaya. Indira Gandhi used to go and meet gangster Karim Lala. We’ve seen that underworld, now it’s just nothing,'' Raut said late on Wednesday. The Shiv Sena chief made these remarks while speaking to a news channel during an award function.
