Nagpur, Jul 18 (PTI) Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, along with party MPs, MLAs and workers, offered prayers and performed aarti at a Ram temple in Nagpur on Saturday, ahead of his ‘Ram Raksha Andolan’ against the alleged embezzlement of donations at the Ayodhya Ram temple. Uddhav Thackeray was joined by Aaditya Thackeray, Sanjay Raut, party legislators, leaders and workers during the prayers and aarti at the Ram temple in the city’s Ram Nagar area.
