The Shiv Sena (UBT) on Wednesday expressed strong disapproval of its ally and NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar felicitating Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde at an event in Delhi, PTI reported.

Sena (UBT) spokesperson Sanjay Raut claimed that it was Shinde who split the Shiv Sena with the help of Amit Shah and felicitating him was similar to honouring the BJP leader.
