On Monday, Shiva Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray called the Maharashtra government "shameless" over the police lathi-charge on protesters in Jalna.

The protestors were demanding reservation for the Marathas. "I had gone to Jalna to meet protesters...This state government is 'shameless'...They have brutally beaten everyone including women...Now they are not taking responsibility and playing the blame game. This government is sending the message that if anyone protests for justice we will break their head," Uddhav Thackeray said.
