Parliament speaker’s apathy to celebrate ‘Shivjayanti’
New Delhi: The members of Shiv Sena from the Lower and Upper Houses of the Parliament celebrated ‘Shiv-jayanti’ by garlanding the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. This year, a letter was given to the Speaker of the Lower House seeking permission to celebrate ‘Shiv-jayanti’ but he did not bother to reply.
Shiv Sena MPs were, therefore, displeased for a while but since the permission was not denied for such celebration, Shri. Manohar Joshi discussed the matter with Sushama Swaraj, the leader of the Opposition and celebrated ‘Shiv-jayanti’. Mr. Sanjay Raut, Gajanan Babar, Subhash Wankhede, Ganesh Dudhgaonkar were the other Shiv Sena MPs who joined the celebration.
