The alleged sexual assault of two young girls in Badlapur, Maharashtra, has triggered widespread protests and a call for stringent measures.

Uddhav Thackeray, the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and former Chief Minister of Maharashtra, has recently made a strong statement regarding the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024.

Union minister Prataprao Jadhav has claimed Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray was bowing before "trivial people" with an eye on the chief minister's post ahead of Maharashtra polls and had abandoned the Sena's ideology.
