Sena wants Thackeray memorial at Shivaji Park

Shiv Sena leader Manohar Joshi has put forth the party's demand that a memorial be built in memory of Bal Thackeray at Shivaji Park.

Senior Shiv Sena leader and former Maharashtra chief minister Manohar Joshi put forth the party's demand that a memorial be built in honour of Sena patriarch Bal Thackeray, who passed away Saturday, at Shivaji Park.

Bal Thackeray was cremated with state honours at Shivaji Park

The sprawling ground already has a memorial dedicated to Maratha warrior king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

"We want his (Thackeray's) memorial to be built here (Shivaji Park). The party wants his memorial next to Chhattrapati Shivaji's memorial. Why won't the government permit it," Joshi asked.
