Thackeray

In their appeal to the Supreme Court, Squad Thackeray stated, “Suspend the 16 rebel MLAs against whom disqualification proceedings are pending as an interim measure.”

New Delhi: Uddhav Thackeray, the former chief minister of Maharashtra, has petitioned the Supreme Court to prohibit Shiv Sena MLAs from partaking in parliamentary sessions because they were “pawns of the BJP” and had defected over him.

“The delinquent MLAs who have been acting as pawns of the BJP, thereby committing the constitutional sin of defection, ought not to be allowed to perpetuate their sin even for a single day by permitting them to continue as members of the assembly,” Team Thackeray camp said in a petition to the Supreme Court

On Monday of last week, just as the rebel MLAs under leadership of Eknath Shinde commenced their uprising, Team Thackeray asked the Deputy Speaker to expel 16 MLAs, including Mr. Shinde, who has become the Chief Minister of Maharashtra and Devendra Fadnavis of the BJP serving as his deputy.

The rebel MLAs then appealed to The Supreme court, arguing that it would be illegitimate to oust them from office.

For Monday, the court summoned a session to examine the disqualification issue.

Mr Thackeray’s lawyer, Kapil Sibal, told the Supreme Court, “Suspend the 16 rebel MLAs against whom disqualification proceedings are pending as an interim measure. Restrain them from participating in any of the house proceedings,” following which the court stated that it will hear the matter on Monday.

The conflict now centers on assuming charge of the Shiv Sena, the organisation Mr. Thackeray’s father Bal Thackeray established.

“The rebels cannot speak for the Shiv Sena,” according to the former chief minister.

Team Thackeray told the Supreme Court today, “Despite the rebellion carried out by the Eknath Shinde faction, the original Shiv Sena political party remains under the leadership of Uddhav Thackeray…who was elected president of the Shiv Sena way back on 23.01.2018 when the organisational elections of the were conducted and the same was communicated to the Election Commission on 27.02.2018,” now the decision to alight the name of the party to a single unit will be up to the Supreme Court.
