Shiv Sena has asked all its MLAs in Maharashtra, including the rebels accompanying leader Eknath Shinde, to attend a legislature party meeting here at 5 pm or face action under the anti-defection law.

Eknath Shinde, who is camping in Guwahati with a section of Sena MLAs loyal to him, said the orders issued by Sena chief whip Sunil Prabhu are "legally invalid" as MLA Bharat Gogawale is being appointed as the party chief whip.
