Mumbai, Oct 21 (India Today): Shiv Sena has put a big poster opposite Sena Bhavan showing BJP leaders including PM Modi, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Nitisn Gadkari and few others bowing before Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray.

Amid ongoing tussle between both the ally partners in the state, Shiv Sena's recent poster is seen as another move to embarrass its senior partner in the state. Rift between Sena and BJP have been visible on several issues starting from beef ban in Maharashtra, Pakistan boycott and ink attack on LK Advani's fromer aide Sudheendra Kulkarni.

Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has hit out at Shiv Sena on Tuesday and asked them to adopt "civilised mode" of discussing and debating issues.

"All right-thinking sections will have to distance themselves from these methodologies," he said when asked about BJP ally Shiv Sena's protest against the BCCI-PCB meet and the book launch of former Pakistan foreign minister Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri.

"People resorting to vandalism as an instrument of registering their protest are starting "an extremely disturbing trend", particularly because some of these issues are extremely serious. We had a tradition of civility in conveying diverse opinions," added Jaitley.

Shiv Sena has also openely opposed Maharashtra government's decision's move to ban meat during Jain community's fasting period 'Paryushan' in September this year.
