Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad, who was involved in a row with Air India, met party president Uddhav Thackeray today and explained his position over the issue.

The meeting, which lasted for 10 minutes at Shiv Sena's central office at Dadar in Mumbai, came after Air India, and other airlines, lifted the flying ban on Gaikwad after he expressed regret for assaulting an AI employee on March 23.

Neither Thackeray nor Gaikwad disclosed to reporters what transpired in the meeting. However, party sources said Gaikwad explained his position over the whole controversy.

Gaikwad, the MP from Osmanabad, arrived in Mumbai by the Rajdhani Express this morning after attending Parliament proceedings earlier this week.
