‘No permission needed’: Shiv Sena unveils Shivaji statue outside Mumbai airport

Shiv Sena MLC Anil Parab and a group of Shiv Sena members Saturday took it upon themselves to unveil the 6-feet-tall, bronze statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji outside the Mumbai airport to protest against the alleged delay in organising an opening ceremony. The move has been termed a political stunt by other parties. On Saturday, the GVK Group’s Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL), which runs the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, was caught by surprise when the statue was unveiled by a local division of the Shiv Sena. Parab, who took the veil off the statue, said it was to protect the “pride of Maharashtra”.
