Good news bal thakrey ki halaat me sudhar
Mumbai: Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on
Thursday said party chief Bal Thackeray
was stable and doing well. "The condition
of Bal Thackeray is stable, he is
responding to the treatment, there is
nothing to worry about," Raut said. He
also said that the Shiv Sena supremo has
been off life support since Thursday
morning.
He also appealed to the Shiv Sena
supporters to not panic. "There is no
need to rush to Mumbai. As of now,
Balasaheb is doing fine. There is no need
to panic," Raut said.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader
Gopinath Munde, who visited Bal
Thackeray's residence Matoshree on
Thursday morning also said that the Shiv
Sena chief was doing well. "I saw
Balasaheb and also met Uddhav and the
Thackeray family. Balasaheb is doing
well," he said.
Meanwhile, crowds continued to sour
outside Matoshree. At least 1,500
policemen and teams of the Rapid Action
Force have been deployed outside
Matoshree. The police have also asked
the owners of shops around Matoshree to
close down their shops amidst reports of
Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray being
critical. The leaves of all the policemen in
Mumbai were cancelled as heavy security
was deployed outside Thackeray's
residence.
Earlier on Thursday morning, reports said
that the 86-year-old was critical and his
doctors said that he was on life support.
None of the doctors attending on him
were available for the latest update on
his condition on Thursday. Several
legislators and film personalities, including
Amitabh Bachchan and his son Abhishek
visited Matoshree on Wednesday night to
inquire about Thackeray's health.
Senior leader Ramdas Kadam, who was
among others who rushed to see the
ailing patriarch, had told reporters on
Wednesday night that doctors were trying
their level best to stabilise his condition.
MNS chief Raj Thackeray and close family
members were at 'Matoshree'.
Amitabh Bachchan who spent quite a few
hours at Matoshree later tweeted that
prayers were needed at this hour.
"Balasaheb Thackeray : a fighter all his
life, fights his life !! Prayers needed now!
When I fought for my life after 'Coolie'
accident, he came to visit me in hospital,
with a cartoon he had drawn - Yamraj
defeated ! Yamraj - God of Death,
defeated by me..wish I was as proficient
a cartoonist as he, for tonight I would
wish to draw that for him (sic)," he
tweeted.
Working President of the Shiv Sena and
Bal Thackeray's son Uddhav Thackeray
appealed for calm in his address to those
assembled outside their residence. He
said, "Balasaheb has strong will power.
We will come out of this problem. Don't
trust rumours. Make peace We are
hopeful. You should be hopeful as well.
Let's pray for Balasaheb."
This came after reports said that the Shiv
Sena supremo was on continuous oxygen
and not eating anything. "Bal Thackeray is
not on ventilator, but is on continuous
oxygen," his close source said on Tuesday.
He said the 86-year-old Sena patriarch,
who has been suffering from breathing
problems, continues to be under medical
supervision.
"His health is not so good. He is not
eating anything," he said. A number of
leaders including former President
Pratibha Patil have visited Thackeray's
residence 'Matoshree' over the past few
days to enquire about his health.
Meanwhile, President Pranab Mukherjee
has cancelled his trip to Mumbai amidst
reports of Bal Thackeray's deteriorating
health.
