Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) lawmaker Arvind Sawant on Wednesday said the party’s ‘bow and arrow’ symbol belongs to the Uddhav Thackeray-led faction. “The logo should be back to us. It has been with us for a really long time; it is the face of our identity,” he told mid-day.com.
Speaking to reporters, Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP Anil Desai said, “We believe the Supreme Court will deliver justice, but it must be done in a timely manner for it to be meaningful. However, the court has now scheduled the hearing for January 21.”
