Thursday and raised slogans against each other at the memorial of party founder late Bal thackeray, whose 11th
death anniversary was observed on Friday. While shiv sena workers shouted that the party was theirs, those

when chief minister Shinde had reached the memorial located at shivaji Park in Dadar to pay tribute to Bal
Thackeray. Shinde said, It is everyone’s responsibility to maintain law and order. To ensure that there is no law
and order problem, I pay homage a day earlier. I condemn the attempt to disturb peace.
