Operation Tiger: Sena Split Loading

Sixty years after Bal Thackeray founded Shiv Sena on June 19, 1966, the party's foundation day is being overshadowed by a fresh political crisis.

With six of Uddhav Thackeray's nine Lok Sabha MPs skipping a key parliamentary party meeting, speculation is mounting over a possible shift towards the Eknath Shinde-led camp. As rival factions prepare separate foundation day events, Mumbai Police has issued alerts over potential clashes and heightened security concerns.
