While the hustle and bustle of local self-government elections is ongoing in the state, MNS has faced a major setback. A case has been filed against Amit Thackeray, son of MNS President Raj Thackeray. MNS leader Amit Thackeray and 70 MNS workers have been charged by Nerul police for violating the ban on gatherings, organizing an event without permission, and causing damage to public property during the inauguration of the grand statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj on the throne near Rajiv Gandhi flyover in Nerul. Let's learn more about this in detail.
We will not tolerate this insult to Shiv Chhatrapati Maharaj – Amit Thackeray
While inaugurating this statue, Amit Thackeray said, ‘In Maharashtra, in the land of Shiv Chhatrapati, we will never tolerate this insult to Maharaj! For four months, the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was covered with dirty, torn cloth just because “a leader is not available for inauguration.” But, we will not let anyone play with Maharashtra's pride.
...This is shameful – Amit Thackeray
In a social media post by MNS, Amit Thackeray said, ‘If my first political case is to fight for Shiv Chhatrapati, then I will be happy about it. Those who chant the name of Maharaj during elections, those who receive applause in speeches in the name of Shivaji... don't have time to inaugurate the statue? This is happening in Maharashtra, and this itself is shameful.’
