Mumbai: Maharashtra Deputy Speaker Narhari Zirwal on Saturday rejected no-confidence motion moved against him by rebel Eknath Shinde’s camp. 

The Deputy Speaker cited the letter was sent from a random e-mail address and did not carry any original signatures.

The national executive meeting of the Shiv Sena is underway at the party's headquarters in the city. Maharashtra Chief Minister and Party President Uddhav Thackeray is expected to take a decision on the action against the rebel MLAs, including Eknath Shinde.

The party's national executive is expected to authorise Thackeray to take decisions regarding the organisation in view of the rebellion by Shinde. Along with Shinde, another disgruntled party leader and former minister Ramdas Kadam, is expected to face action. Both of them are members of national executive. Kadam's son MLA Yogesh Kadam has joined the rebel camp in Guwahati.

The Shiv Sena has already filed a petition with the Deputy Speaker seeking disqualification of 16 rebel MLAs.
