Talking to PTI on Sunday, Vinayak Raut, Sena MP from Sindhudurg, said the meeting will be held at 12 noon.
"The agenda is to discuss the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/mumbai-shiv-sena-leader-aaditya-thackeray-hits-the-streets-to-save-aarey-23235317" rel="none">party's</a> stand on the presidential election slated to be held on July 18," he said.

In the past, the Sena had broken ranks with the NDA and supported the candidatures of Pratibha Patil and Pranab Mukherjee (both Congress leaders). The Sena left the NDA in 2019 as the party formed government with the Congress and NCP in Maharashtra after ditching the old ally BJP.
Last week, Sena MPs Rahul Shewale and Rajendra Gavit had written to Thackeray and sought that the party back Murmu.
