The Sena chief also hailed Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee for courage of conviction in his face-off with the CPI(M) bosses.
In a pointed reference to the Sena MP from Parbhani, Tukaram Renge Patil, expelled after the floor test for abstention, Thackeray said that Shiv Sena had made Patil MLA twice and MP once.
Despite this he chose to go against the party line to support Congress. Such people should face public wrath for their disloyalty and mere expulsion will not suffice, he said today in an editorial in 'Saamana'.
The editorial comment in the Sena mouthpiece came even as Renge Patil alleged on a television channel that he was being bullied by Shiv Sainiks and faced threat to his life.
The expelled MP accused the party leaders of insulting him repeatedly and claimed that he chose to abstain in the trust vote because of the treatment meted out to him by the party bosses.
A spokesman of the Sena from Parbhani district denied all charges.
