After the Election Commission (EC) froze the 'bow and arrow' symbol, prohibiting the opposing camps in the party from using it in the next Assembly bypoll scheduled for November 3, Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray referred to the side led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde as "traitors.
The symbol was frozen by EC on October 8 to prevent use by either of the competing camps in the party in the next Assembly by-election slated for November 3.This came about because of a dispute over the Shiv Sena's claim to the "Bow and Arrow" sign."Boxed traitors today have done a despicable and shameless act of freezing the Shiv Sena's name and symbol. The people of Maharashtra will not tolerate this. Will fight and win! We are on the side of truth! Satyamev Jayate!" Aaditya Thackeray tweeted in Marathi
