Shiv Sena’s sole Muslim Minister threatens to quit?

Amid speculation that the Shiv Sena’s newly-inducted Minister of State Abdul Sattar Nabi has threatened to quit from the government, the party and his family stoutly denied the reports, here on Saturday.

“This is not correct… He has not resigned, nor submitted any such resignation letter to me or anybody else in the party,” Sena Rajya Sabha MP told IANS, dismissing it as “media imagination”.

Speaking to local media, the MoS’ son Samir Nabi in Aurangabad also denied the news and said he was trying to reach his father for more details.

The sole Muslim face of Sena and among four Muslims in the cabinet, Sattar, a legislator from Sillod (Aurangabad) was sworn-in as a MoS when Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray expanded his cabinet on Dec. 30.

Since the past one week, the top leaders of the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance of Shiv Sena-Nationalist Congress Party-Congress are engaged in finalizing the cabinet portfolios.-IANS News
