"Look at Israel! How the people there have taken to the streets to protest against certain laws there... even the police joined the demonstrations and Israeli embassies all over the world shut down in solidarity with the people there. After it became impossible for their leader (Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu), the laws were withdrawn.

According to party officials, Raut received a WhatsApp message on his mobile late on Friday night on the alleged threat. The message warned that whenever Raut is seen in New Delhi, he would be shot dead with an AK-47 rifle. Not taking chances, Raut informed the Mumbai Police Commissioner and a probe is underway.

Almost a year after the famous 'Hanuman Chalisa' row which saw Navneet Rana and her MLA husband Ravi Rana cooling their heels in jail, the woman MP on Thursday hit back. Posters of the actress-turned-politician Navneet Rana proclaiming her as a 'Hindu Sherni' were seen near Thackeray's home 'Matoshri' in Bandra.

NCP chief spokesperson Mahesh Tapase said Fadnavis had said a few weeks ago how he had taken "revenge" and brought down the MVA Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray nine months ago. "Now, Health Minister Tanaji Sawant has also confirmed that a whopping 150 meetings have been held since 2019 between Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde, plotting to bring down the MVA," he said.

State NCP President Jayant Patil said that after the apex court judgement, the government of Shiv Sena Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Bharatiya Janata Party Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis is most likely to collapse. "However, there may not be a midterm election as anticipated in some quarters, but instead, Central rule would be imposed after the SC verdict," asserted Patil, addressing a meeting of party workers in Jalgaon late on Tuesday.

"My name is not Savarkar, I won't apologise," Rahul Gandhi had said after he was disqualified from the Lok Sabha following his conviction by a Surat court in a 2019 criminal defamation case.

The war between Congress-Sena-UBT suddenly erupted again after Thackeray raised objections to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's remarks two days ago and said such "insults" to the "deity" of Maharashtra would not be tolerated, and party MP Sanjay Raut endorsed the comments.

Addressing a huge rally in Malegaon, Thackeray said that whenever the Opposition leaders criticise the BJP government, they are termed as "anti-national" and cases are slapped against them. However, the BJP leaders keep abusing the Opposition leaders, slap all kinds of cases against them, interrogate even their pregnant women.

The legislators were protesting against Rahul Gandhi's remarks against Hindutva ideologue Veer Savarkar made during his Bharat Jodo Yatra in a heated discussion in the Assembly, which resulted in an adjournment. Shiv Sena MLAs Pratap Sarnaik and Sanjay Shirsat condemned Rahul Gandhi for 'disrespecting' Veer Savarkar, while Shirsat demanded to know the stance of the rival Shiv Sena (UBT) headed by ex-CM Uddhav Thackeray on the Congress leader's remarks.

Raj, the estranged cousin of Shiv Sena (UBT) President and former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, is scheduled to address a large rally this evening for which thousands of party workers have started trooping in from Nashik, Pune, Raigad and parts of Mumbai. Setting the tone for the meeting on Gudi Padwa -- the Maharashtra New Year, the MNS Dadar unit chief Laxman Patil has put up the banners conferring the status of 'Hindu Jannayak' and 'The future CM in the minds of the people of Maharashtra!'
