MNS has alleged that the advertisement which talks about contribution of Gujaratis in financial and intellectual development of Mumbai has “ignored” the contribution of Marathi people.
The MNS's attack came close on the heels of an editorial in Shiv Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamna' which had accused Gujaratis of exploiting Mumbai for commercial gains and not observing the Maharashtra Day.
However, Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray has distanced his party from the controversial editorial.
