What Happened
Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray held a press conference in Mumbai on Saturday to condemn Prime Minister Narendra Modi for meeting with six MPs who recently defected from his party to join the Eknath Shinde-led faction. The meeting took place on Friday after the Prime Minister hosted a breakfast session for members of the National Democratic Alliance. Thackeray contrasted this interaction with the Prime Minister's lack of engagement with youth protesters at Jantar Mantar.
Thackeray argued that the meeting with the Shinde faction MPs was an attempt to intimidate the Supreme Court, where a case concerning the leadership and disqualification of the party members has been pending for four years. He characterized the defecting MPs as traitors and questioned the Prime Minister's priorities in choosing to meet them while ignoring the concerns of the protesting youth.
