Shiv Sena today demanded that sedition charges be slapped on Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam for questioning the integrity of the Army and sought his immediate removal from the party's Mumbai chief post.

Nirupam had yesterday raised questions on the veracity of the surgical strikes by the Army on terror launch pads across the LoC, suggesting it was "fake". He also went on to demand "some evidence" to prove that the strikes did take place and accused the ruling BJP at the Centre of indulging in politics over the issue.
