MVA (Maha Vikas Aghadi) held a protest march in Mumbai from Hutatma Chowk to Gateway of India, over Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's statue collapse incident. 
Speaking on the same, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Arvind Sawant says, "...Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is God-like for us. His statue collapsed and with that, our devotion, honour, and self-respect collapsed and fell there. Despite such disrespect, leaders of political parties supporting it - what else will do if not condemn them?...Uddhav Thackeray has said that is an insult to Maharashtra...We are being stopped in our own Maharashtra by our own Police that we can't go ahead with it (the protest march)...I have never seen such helpless Police...What if they did (apologise)? See the timing. Isn't the statement political? PM always makes political statements. Had he felt such sympathy, he would have gone to Manipur...Central Government's policy is to disrespect Maharashtra...This is not political, this agitation is for the honour of Mahrashtra which has been insulted.”
