Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray’s son Aditya takes a dig at MNS chief Raj Thackeray

MUMBAI: The tiger cub has finally roared. Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray’s son Aditya, who had never attacked his uncle Raj in the past, took a dig at him, asking him to 'get well soon'.

The younger Thackeray, while on a trip to Nagpur on Thursday, told reporters that he was ‘anguished and angered’ at the violence ‘unleashed’ by Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) cadres at the Old Custom House in Mumbai on Thursday, where Sena and MNS workers clashed during the filing of nominations.

“I feel very angry at the level they are stooping to,” he said. “It’s obvious they are frustrated because they can’t win elections, so they have put up candidates to defeat others since they themselves can’t win,” he added. Without naming his uncle, he said, “I feel their mental balance has been disturbed. I can only tell them to get well soon,” he said. More than 20 people, including supporters of the two parties, police officials and media personnel were injured during the clash.
