Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray and MLA Aaditya Thackeray along with top party leaders carried out a silent protest near the Shiv Sena Bhavan in Dadar. “It is a pity that instead of taking action against the culprits it is standing with them,” Thackeray alleged. He said Maharashtra has never seen a government as “shameless” as the incumbent dispensation.
A day after the Bombay High Court restrained the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance from bringing Maharashtra to a halt with a bandh, the Shiv Sena (UBT), NCP (SP) and the Congress staged huge but peaceful mute protests across the state despite inclement weather.
