Is speaking against Shiv Sena anti-party activity?: Nirupam claims Cong-Sena Mumbai merger

Even as the Rajasthan crisis deepens, with Sachin Pilot moving High Court against disqualification notices issued to him, it seems that anger is brewing within the party in the other states as well. Former Congress Mumbai chief Sanjay Nirupam has lashed out on his own party over reports saying that he may be expelled. Taking to Twitter on Thursday, he asked if speaking against Shiv Sena is an 'anti-party activity.' His tweet not only highlights the internal chaos in Congress but also the fissures in Uddhav Thackeray -led Maha Vikas Aghadi. Nirupam claims that action has been demanded against him as he wanted a probe into land scam allegedly by Sena leaders.
