SC issues notice to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla against approval of Sena UBT MPs' merger with Shinde faction
The Supreme Court issued notices to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and six rebel Shiv Sena MPs regarding the approval of their merger with the Eknath Shinde-led faction. This action follows a plea from the Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray (UBT) faction contesting the Speaker's decision. The court has scheduled a hearing for the matter in two weeks.
