After Shiv Sena wrote to Maharashtra Deputy Speaker seeking disqualification of 12 MLAs who weren't present in a meeting, rebel MLA Eknath Shinde said, "You can't scare us...because we are followers of Balasaheb Thackeray." He added, "We know the law, so we do not pay heed to threats." In a series of tweets, Shinde said, "We know your ways."
