Activists of Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena on Sunday burnt a picture of Jammu and Kashmir National Conference leader Omar Abdullah in Thane alleging he has opposed the construction of Maharashtra Bhavan in Budgam.

Protesters shouted slogans against the former chief minister of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir at the main square in Thane city and attempted to set his effigy ablaze but police foiled their plan. The activists then set Abdullah's photo on fire.
