Mumbai, June 07: A week after Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar attacked Bal Thackeray, the Shiv Sena chief Monday urged his activists to observe restraint and not to clashes with the NCP.
On Tuesday, Pawar stirred up a row by demanding to know Thackeray’s contribution to Maharashtra. The Sena chief retaliated, while workers from both parties clashed in different parts of the state.
“The conflict with the NCP (Nationalist Congress Party) must be stopped,” Thackeray said in a statement here.
“There is a conflict in the nation against the Congress-led government. So this conflict (between Sena-NCP) should be ended, and everybody should unite against the Congress,” he added.
Two days ago, NCP chief Sharad Pawar advised state party chief Madhukar Pichhad to direct party activists to stop burning effigies of Sena leaders or attacking their party offices in the state.
