Shiv Sena (UBT) issues whip Amid ‘Operation Tiger’ Buzz

Mumbai, June 17 (UNI) Amidst speculation over defections engineered by the Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde) group in collusion with the BJP in Maharashtra, the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena has sought legal advice and is exploring options to counter any possible rebellion by some of its Members of Parliament, informed sources said on Wednesday.
BJP leaders, notably Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, have washed their hands of any complicity with the Shinde Sena in 'Operation Tiger' to allegedly wean away the Sena (UBT) MPs to trigger a split in the Uddhav Sena.
Sources said Shiv Sena (UBT) has initiated moves to convene a meeting of its parliamentary party and has issued a whip to all its MPs, directing them to attend. The whip has reportedly been sent via email. Party leaders have warned that disciplinary action may be taken against any MP who remains absent from the meeting.
