Hours after BJP gave it an ultimatum to take a final call on the seat-sharing pact for Maharashtra assembly elections, Shiv Sena said tonight that it would not be dictated by anybody.

"We won't compromise on our self-respect. We met (party president) Uddhav Thackeray today and had a discussion on alliance. Shiv Sena does not obey anybody's ultimatum. The final decision will be taken only by Uddhav Thackeray," Sena MP Sanjay Raut told reporters here.
