Bombay High Court Seeks Details on Hate Speech Allegations Against Raj Thackeray, MNS

The Bombay High Court has sought specific details of alleged hate speech and threats by Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) Chief Raj Thackeray and party workers, while hearing a plea filed by Sunil Shukla, National President of Uttar Bhartiya Vikas Sena. 

The petition alleges that Shukla was targeted for opposing an “anti-North Indian” campaign in Maharashtra, citing instances of threats, attempted vandalism of his office, and inflammatory speeches.

A Bench led by Chief Justice Alok Aradhe sought concrete particulars of the alleged incidents before proceeding.

Shukla has sought registration of FIRs, police protection, and action against MNS, claiming violations of constitutional and statutory protections.
