MNS asks TV channel to remove Pak comedian
Headlines Today BureauMumbai, June 17, 2010
The Cine Workers Association, a wing of Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), has threatened TV channel Sony of dire consequences if it did not take Pakistani comedian Shakeel Siddiqui off its laughter show immediately.
The association has sent a threat letter to the channel at its office in Malad. Demanding immediate removal of Siddiqui from its show the letter threatened the channel that it will be difficult for it to air its programmes in Maharahstra if it does not heed to the diktat.
This is not the first time that the MNS has taken law into their hands. The party has a notorious reputation of flouting laws and forcing its diktats in the state.
