Mumbai: Hitting back at his nephew Raj Thackeray for raising a banner of revolt against his son and Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav, Sena supremo Bal Thackeray said the organisation was "not anybody's private property."
"Those who live in the shadow of the Himalaya should not think that they are bigger than the mountain," Thackeray said in party mouthpiece Samna as his first reaction to Raj's stepping down from the Sena.
Raj had also launched a scathing attack on Sena Chief's son Uddhav, saying the party was being run by a quartet of clerks.
In the editorial, Thackeray also referred to the show of strength by Raj supporters in Mumbai on November 27 and the damage done to Sena MP and Samna editor Sanjay Raut's car.
"This josh (passion) is missing whenever the Sena is in a crisis or when the opponents attack the party. We would have appreciated, had this 'josh' being shown against (Congress nominee) Narayan Rane in the recent Malwan assembly bypoll," he added.
