The head of Shiv Sena (UBT) Uddhav Thackeryy said on Thursday (April 3, 2025) that his party voted against the draft law of WAQF (amendment) in Parliament to oppose the “Plan of the Central Government led by BJP in favor of his” industrial friends “. However, the leader of Shiv Sena and the Deputy Minister Maharashtra Eknath Shinde intervened back and called Shiv Sen (UBT) against the bill “the greatest crime”.
Mr. Thackey pointed out “hypocrisy” BJP and called the speeches of BJP deputies “clear apartment”. On the one hand, they presented manifestations imitating Muslims, while on the other, the targeted parties who voted against him said. “If the bill prefers Muslims according to the speeches of BJP and their leaders of the Alliance parties and are we against the bill, how can we have left Hindutva? Who left Hindutva, BJP or us?” The former main Minister of Maharashtra asked.
Lok Sabha approved the bill on Wednesday, with 288 deputies in favor and 232 against. Shiv Sena (UBT) Members voted against the bill.
Without taking the name of Mr. Shinde, Mr. Thackeray said, “Gaddar (traitor) thinks we left Hindutvu, so if Muslims calm down, why was he part of the flattening? Should he leave and say,” This is unacceptable because we are believers Babasahee Thackey “.”

Mr. Thackey has accused BJP of playing political gains. He said that when Shiv hay (undivided at that time) supported the dilution of Article 370, they hoped that Kashmir Pandits would get back their country. “But so many days and years have passed. Of those Pandits cashmere, how much did their country get back?”
Mr. Thackey said they were not against the bill and support some good changes, but he knew that by taking control of the WAQF council, the eyes of BJP would be on the ground. Mr. Thackery, who quoted the argument of Shiv Sena (UBT) in parliament during the discussion of the bill, said: “Arvind Sawant said that the Hindes would not tolerate if Nhinda is part of their trust, then what you can name Muslim in the WAQF panels”?
Mr. Shinde replied to the statement and called Mr. Thackeray confused. “Against the draft WAQF law, it shows that they have left Hindutva and the ideals of Balasaheb Thackery; this is their greatest crime. The results of the elections to the 2024 elections clearly indicated that Uddhav Thackey Bodl Hindu and Muslims in the back,” Shinde said.
BJP leader Chandrashekhar Bawankle has identified Shiv Sena (UBT) stand on the bill as “disrespectful” for Maharashtra and Earth. “Uddhav Thackery has left Bal Thackey’s ideology and showed that he had accepted the ideology of congress. He wanted a voting of a particular community in Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections, but other communities voted against him.
