In yet another violent act by MNS party workers assaulted a man for critisising their party chief Raj Thackeray on social media. Sandeep Tiwari, a resident of Ambarnath in Thane, was asked to perform sit-ups after he posted message criticising the leader. A video of Tiwari is doing the rounds of social media platforms.
MNS workers for Ambarnath attacked Tiwari form his home to MNS office at Ambarnath where the party workers beat him up. He was then allegedly asked him to do 25 sit-ups and apologise to Mr. Thackeray.
In the video, Tiwari is seen with folded hands and apologising for his message. “By mistake I have sent video and for the same I am apologising Raj Thackeray.” MNS spokersperson Sandeep Deshpande justified the actions of workers saying, “In a democracy everyone has the right to express, comment and criticize. But criticism should not be below the belt. Those who will use bad language against Raj Thackeray will be beaten up by MNS party workers.”
Deshpande also pointed out that Tiwari is a BJP supporter. “We will not file any complaint against such troll because we know that no action will be taken against them by the police. He is a BJP supporter. We have not spare any BJP party worker who used bad words against our party chief and we will not spare trolls in the future either.”
