Uddhav Thackeray to attend INDIA bloc leaders’ dinner in Delhi after Rahul Gandhi calls him up
Shiv Sena (UBT) mouthpiece 'Saamana' reported that Rahul Gandhi called up Uddhav Thackeray and invited him to the meeting in Delhi on August 7.

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray will be among the political leaders attending the dinner hosted by Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi on August 7. Gandhi called up Thackeray Sunday and invited him to attend the meeting of the INDIA bloc leaders, Sena (UBT) mouthpiece Saamana reported Monday.
”Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray will be in New Delhi on August, 6,7 and 8 at a time when the Monsoon Session of Parliament is underway. On August 7, Thackeray will attend the INDIA bloc meeting. He will also inaugurate the new party office in Sansad Bhavan,” the paper said.
”Besides the online meeting of INDIA bloc leaders before the Monsoon Session of Parliament, no other meeting of INDA bloc has been held. Therefore, Thursday’s meeting will be important. The meeting, among others, will discuss the future strategy and the problems with the voters list,” the paper said. During his visit to Delhi, Thackeray will meet leaders of different political parties and interact with the media, it said.
Meanwhile, Saamana, in its editorial Monday, alleged that last week’s violence in Yevat area was abetted by people in the government. “The police had taken action against those who had kept objectionable status. However, two MLAs went there and disturbed the peace. Instead of ensuring peace, they tried to fan the violence,” the paper said.
The Pune rural police lodged five cases and detained 17 people in connection with the communal tension and violence reported at Yavat village in Daund taluka on August 1. The police also issued a prohibitory order as per provisions of Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS).
The paper also said, “During the Modi regime, the Indian society has become insensitive and impatient. This is bad for the image of the country.”
