The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena will skip the INDIA bloc’s protest and meeting today, with none of its key leaders, including Thackeray, Sanjay Raut and Arvind Sawant, expected to attend. The faction will also stay away from the delegation scheduled to meet the President. Sources indicate discontent among its MPs, with the Congress accused of adopting a “go-it-alone” approach over the past three days. Rahul Gandhi has reportedly called Thackeray and assured him that his faction would be included in future protests, but the group will not join today’s events.
