Rift in party
An increase in intra-party rivalry between Balasaheb
Thackeray's son Uddhav Thackeray, and nephew Raj
Thackeray led to divisions within the Shiv Sena.
On December 18, 2005, Raj Thackeray announced his
resignation as a primary member of the Shiv Sena.
On November 28, 2009, in another jolt to Shiv Sena,
Smita Thackeray, daughter in law of Bal Thackeray
announced to quit Shiv Sena and join Congress party

Valentine's Day protests
On February 14, 2006, Balasaheb Thackeray condemned
and apologized for the violent attacks of Shiv Sena
members upon a private Valentine's Day celebration in
Mumbai.
It is said that women were beaten up in the Nallasopara
incident. If that really happened, then it is a symbol of
cowardice

Views on Muslims
Thackeray's views have typically been highly anti-
Muslim, usually attacking them and occasionally
sympathizing with them.
They [Muslims] are spreading like a cancer and should be
operated on like a cancer.
