Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray

Mumbai Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray's health turned "very critical" late on Wednesday night. As the news spread, his supporters gathered outside his residence, 'Matoshree', in Bandra.

His nephew Raj Thackeray, along with his family, arrived at Matoshree at around 9.30 pm -- his second visit for the day. Top Sena leaders including Manohar Joshi, Sanjay Raut, Ramdas Kadam and Eknath Shinde also reached the residence. Well past midnight, actor Amitabh Bachchan also arrived at the spot.

A team of doctors from Lilavati hospital who have been constantly monitoring Thackeray's health for the past two weeks rushed to Matoshree in the evening.

Around midnight, senior Sena leader Ramdas Kadam tried to pacify the over 2,000 workers gathered outside Matoshree, saying that the doctors were trying their best. With emotions running high, party workers shouted slogans like "Balasaheb jai ho". Security was stepped up in the area.

Thackeray has been ailing for the last two weeks. He was last hospitalised in July this year following complaints of stomach pain.

Udhav Thackeray asks his supporter to maintain peace by mortal on 15 Nov 2012

uddhav thackeray is asking the people to maintain peace....if not they will go on rampage and destroy public property. But why should he be telling them this? They should understand what is happening is completely natural. If they have any problems, Udhav should be telling them they should settle it with God (who is the creater and the sole destroyer) and not the public.

May GOD decide the BEST by Dr.M.M.HAZARIKA PhD on 15 Nov 2012

Irrespective of views behold by him towards the Country we all LOVE him for his courage and straightforwardness in dealing with a situation but we all are here to embrace death one day or the other which is a Universal Truth at the appropriate time.Accordingly we only hope that none shall loose oneself which is against his desire of resorting to calm while bringing Glory back to the Country which we had lost while on journey into the future.

An extraordinary personality having certain principle that may not be accepted by certain people in India but a strong leader still staying in the hearts of nationalists and Mahrathi Manas. Iam praying for his recovery from disease and visualising his service in future also.

Prayer by Ram Bahaugunah on 15 Nov 2012

It is said, that first comes death and then is a judgement. We all know where he is heading to and that is "HELL" I pray that God would hasten his departure to his new destination. Its time that he gets a taste of his own medicine. He made Bombay into a HELL and now he will get his own.
