Shiv Sena President and Chief Uddhav Minister Thackeray, in his address at the party’s national executive meeting on Saturday claimed that the party founded by his father, Balasaheb Thackeray, was the real one and after his demise, Uddhav had assumed its leadership. He asked the Shinde camp not to use Balasaheb’s name for its outfit and dared them to get elected in its name and that of his father. Taking an aggressive stance, Thackeray said, “If you (rebel camp) have the courage, seek votes in the name of your fathers. Balasaheb’s name cannot be used by others. The Shiv Sena is like fire, do not put your feet in it, you will be scorched.” Thackeray recalled his election as party chief and spoke about the role played by his father while talking about party discontent. “I told Balasaheb to stop all this. Balasaheb told me he wouldn’t intervene and to let them decide (those who objected to my election). After the resolution was finally passed, the Shiv Sena chief had asked everyone if they agreed with what had been decided. “What is your accomplishment? !.*!8 !43 /. !341$!8 #,!)-%$ ()5 %.! 3(!3 3(% 1%"%, !(!1!2(31! -).)23%12 ). 3(% +.!3( (/412 ().$% #!-0 6),, ,/2% 3(%)1 0/232 ). !1,)%1 ). 3(% $!8 3(% 0!138 2 .!3)/.!, %7%#43)5% !43(/1)2%$ %.! 01%2)$%.3 !.$ 23!3% #()%& -).)23%1 $$(!5 (!#+%1!8 3/ 3!+% !#3)/. !'!).23 3(% 1%"%, 2 ,%$ "8 ().$% ! 2%.)/1 #!").%3 -).)23%1 !(!1!2(31! -).)23%1 !$)38!

The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) of the Punjab Police, which often issues convictions of the suspects in such cases to the media, did not notify Mir's conviction. His sentencing comes as Islamabad prepares for an on-site visit by the officials from the Paris-based global terror financing watchdog Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to verify the implementation of Pakistan's relevant anti-money laundering and terrorism-financing reforms. A positive report may facilitate Pakistan's exit from the grey list of the FATF. "An anti-terrorism court in Lahore early this month had handed down 15 and a half years jail term to Sajid Majeed Mir, an activist of banned Lashkare-Taiba (LeT), in a terrorfinancing case," a senior lawyer associated with terror financing cases of LeT Jamaat-ud-Dawa and (JuD) leaders told PTI on Friday. Besides, since it was an in-camera proceeding at the high-security jail, the media was not allowed.
