Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Thursday strongly rejected a suggestion by Karnataka Congress MLA Laxman Savadi to declare Mumbai a Union Territory, reported news agency PTI.

In a strongly worded post on X (formerly Twitter), Thackeray described the demand as "condemnable" and emphasised that his party will never tolerate any attempt to separate Mumbai from Maharashtra.
