Shiv Sena (UBT) Seeks Revocation of Danve’s Suspension in Legislative Council

Shiv Sena (UBT) legislators urged the Maharashtra Legislative Council Deputy Chairperson to revoke Ambadas Danve's five-day suspension for using abusive language. Apologies from Danve and party leader Uddhav Thackeray were issued, with members deciding to remain quiet in the house as a protest against the decision.

On Wednesday, Shiv Sena (UBT) legislators called upon Maharashtra Legislative Council Deputy Chairperson Neelam Gorhe to annul the suspension of Leader of Opposition Ambadas Danve, imposed for using abusive language in the House. The plea came a day after Danve faced disciplinary action for his remarks directed at BJP legislator Prasad Lad.

Danve was suspended for five days following an incident that occurred during a heated discussion on Monday evening, where Lad sought a resolution condemning Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's comments in the Lok Sabha. In response, Shiv Sena (UBT) legislative party leader Anil Parab requested Gorhe for an opportunity to make a statement during the Question Hour.

Parab explained Danve's readiness to apologize for his behavior, accompanied by an apology from Uddhav Thackeray. He criticized the unilateral decision leading to the suspension and announced that Shiv Sena (UBT) members would remain silent during House proceedings in protest. Gorhe indicated willingness to discuss the matter after the Question Hour.
