Mumbai: The supporters of MNS chief Raj Thackeray created a fresh controversy when they cut a cake with AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi’s picture on it to celebrate the birthday of their leader today.
The incident has generated strong condemnation from the AIMIM and the party MLA from Maharashtra has demanded action against those who cut the cake.
Raj was greeted by his supporters at his residence 'Krishna Kunj' at Dadar in Central Mumbai, where some supporters brought the cake with Owaisi's image on it and cut it.
Raj had targeted Owaisi triggered a row early this year saying he would not chant 'Bharat Mata ki Jai', even if a knife is put to his throat. "Come to Maharashtra, I will put a knife to your throat," the MNS chief had said.
Raj Thackeray and Asaduddin Owaisi are known to take pot shots at each other quite often but this time Raj’s supporters seem to have taken it a bit too far.
