His son and Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray said late on Thursday night that Balasaheb's condition was 'stable'.
"Our feelings and wishes for him are the same. His condition has been stable since Wednesday. His treatment is underway. I repeat what I said on Wednesday that we will not give up. The power of our prayers will help him recover. Let's continue praying for him. I have full faith that he will recover," he added.
