New Delhi, September 18 (Udaipur Kiran) : Shiv Sena spokesperson Raju Waghmare has responded to ongoing legal disputes regarding the party’s name and election symbol, as well as comments made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. Speaking in New Delhi, Waghmare advised Congress to focus on its dwindling fortunes rather than interfere in Shiv Sena’s affairs.
Waghmare stated, “Our legal team has effectively countered all arguments presented by the opposition in court, which were aimed at misleading the judiciary. They claimed that the Election Commission cannot make a decision regarding our symbol and name while disqualification proceedings are pending.” He emphasized that no law prohibits the Election Commission from making decisions during such proceedings.
He further asserted that the Election Commission’s decision to grant Shiv Sena its name and symbol was made in accordance with the law and the Constitution. “We have neither stolen nor committed any wrongdoing,” Waghmare added, underscoring that the ruling was consistent with the legal framework established by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.
In a pointed remark directed at Rahul Gandhi, Waghmare questioned the purpose of his recent posts and suggested that Gandhi should focus on the internal issues plaguing the Congress party, which he described as hollow and losing members.
Additionally, Waghmare addressed the controversial case surrounding the death of Disha Salian, noting that her father has filed a police complaint based on available evidence. He pointed out that Aditya Thackeray has publicly stated he never met Salian, suggesting that the investigation’s developments are now drawing public interest.
This ongoing conflict highlights the intense political rivalry as the Shiv Sena navigates legal challenges and public scrutiny.
