The controversy over the 'Green Mumbra' comment by AIMIM Corporator Sahar Shaikh has intensified after BJP's Nitesh Rane compared AIMIM Leader Imitiaz Jaleel, who defended the remarks, to a 'Green Snake'. Jaleel, earlier, doubled down on Sahar's comment, saying that the party "Will paint Maharashtra Green' and questioned if Green was a word for terror.
