HYDERABAD: Shiv Sena State president Sinkaru Shivaji on Wednesday alleged that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has become a puppet in the hand of the MIM and was opposing the Uniform Civil Code. 

A group of Shiv Sena activists staged a protest at Ambedkar statute near Tank Bund on Wednesday demanding the tabling of a Bill on UCC in the ensuing monsoon session of Parliament.

The police arrested 15 activists and shifted them to the Begum Bazar police station.
