The owner of the famous Karachi Sweet shop in Mumbai is forced to cover the word ‘Karachi’ from the signboard of his shop after an alleged threat from a Shiv Sena leader Nitin Nandgaonkar.
The shop owner has covered the name with the help of a newspaper. The shop owner said I do not want any trouble over the matter.
Shiv Sena leader Nitin Nandgaonkar had asked the shop owner to change the name of the shop to something “Marathi.” “You have to do it, we are giving you time. Change ‘Karachi’ to something in Marathi,” Nandgaonkar said.
The video has since gone viral on social media.

Meanwhile, the Shiv Sene MP Sanjay Raut has issued a clarification on Twitter saying that this is not his party’s official stand.
Karachi bakery and karachi sweets have been in mumbai since last 60 years. They have nothing to do with Pakistan . It makes no sense to ask for changing their names now.Demand for changing their name is not shivsena’s official stance.

Bombay in Shiv Sena hands is the definition of langoor ke munh mein angoor.
Either topple the Gvt soon or turn it into a UT.

Lol. Apparently Karachi has Bombay sweet. How low Shivsena can go. Karachi was part of India.
