The Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) on Wednesday criticised the Centre and the Maharashtra government over the state of law and order, citing actor Amitabh Bachchan's decision to greet fans from behind a bulletproof glass enclosure as an example of growing security concerns.

In an editorial published in the party's mouthpiece, Saamana, the Uddhav Thackeray-led faction targeted Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, alleging that the authorities had failed to ensure the safety of prominent personalities, business owners and ordinary citizens.
