Defending their MP Ravindra Gaikwad in Parliament over Air India row, Senior Shiv Sena leaders on Thursday threatened that they would not keep mum on Gaikwad’s fly ban issue, alleging that the government did not pay heed in the matter. A privilege motion had already been moved in Parliament.
The party MPs raised the issue in Lok Sabha, which resulted in an uproar.
While talking to media, Shiv Sena MP Anand Rao Adsul said that they would not remain silent on the issue. He blamed that the government turned a blind eye in the matter despite his party is part of the government. Ravindra Gaikwad also arrived in Parliament on Thursday. He forced to take a chartered plane to reach to the national capital.
On the other hand, Senior Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut rejected claims that his MP has assaulted the Air India staffer. He questioned, saying that who says that Gaikwad has assaulted anyone. He said the party never runs away.
