LIVE News Updates: Maha crisis-Shinde camp moves SC over Dy Speaker’s disqualification notice

As the political crisis continues to unfold in Maharashtra, the rebel camp led by Eknath Shinde has moved the Supreme Court against the notices issued by Deputy Speaker of Maharashtra Assembly Narhari Zirwal.

Zirwal issued show-cause notices to 16 rebel Sena MLAs for not attending a meeting called upon by party Whip Sunil Prabhu.

On Saturday, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray chaired a national executive meeting in Mumbai with Sena leaders, passed resolutions and moved the Election Commission (EC) to restrain any other political outfit or faction from using the name of Shiv Sena and its founder late Balasaheb Thackeray.

The Deputy Speaker has also asked Shinde to present his case by Monday, June 27.
