The tussle between Shiv Sena and the
Maharashtra government over a temporary
memorial of Balasaheb Thackeray is taking an
even uglier turn. Maharashtra Chief Minister
Prithviraj Chavan gave a stern message to the
Shiv Sena leadership. In an interview, Chavan
categorically said that Shiv Sainiks have to
abide the law and clear out of Mumbai's Shivaji
Park, which has practically become a makeshift
memorial for the late Shiv Sena leader. Chavan
made it clear that Shivaji Park was given to
the Shiv Sena just for Bal Thackeray's
cremation. But ever since his death, the Shiv
Sena has pressed for a memorial to be built at
Shivaji Park. In fact, on Sunday party workers
gathered at Shivaji Park amid reports that the
authorities were planning to remove temporary
structure. The BMC has also sent a notice to
Shiv Sena to dismantle the temporary
structure built at the Shivaji Park.
