Mumbai: Just stopping short of announcing that Saamana newspaper is not a Shiv Sena mouthpiece, party chief Uddhav Thackeray's son Aaditya today made it clear that the Sena does not endorse the controversial anti-Gujarati editorial in the Marathi daily.

"For last two days an unnecessary controversy and as stated before, an attempt to sabotage the bond between Shiv Sena and Gujarati community has been raging and with this, I wish to put it to rest," Aaditya, who heads Yuva Sena, the party's youth outfit, said here today.
