The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday attempted to embarrass former ally Shiv Sena over its rejection of a resolution to honour Vinayak Damodar Savarkar in the lower house. It later faced some inconvenient questions during a short debate.

Speaker Nana Patole rejected the BJP's resolution to mark Savarkar's death anniversary on Wednesday. This led to BJP raising slogans in the well of the House and holding mock proceedings even as the ruling combine transacted its business before calling it a day amid the din. BJP legislators also protested outside the House.
