Sudhir Joshi

Senior Shiv Sena leader and former minister Sudhir Joshi died of a brief illness here on Thursday, party sources said.

BJP leader Sudhir Mungantiwar on Wednesday expressed concern over the attack on Nagpur Mayor Sandip Joshi and said this indicated the Uddhav Thackeray-led government's failure to maintain law and order in the state.

Left embarrassed by articles in a party organ criticising first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru's policies on Kashmir and China and calling Congress president Sonia Gandhi's father a 'fascist soldier', Congress has issued a show cause notice to the magazine's editor and Mumbai party chief Sanjay Nirupam.

An embarrassed Congress today distanced itself from its "defunct" mouthpiece in Mumbai as some articles in it criticised former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru's Kashmir policy and alleged that Congress president Sonia Gandhi's father was a "fascist soldier".
