MNS chief Raj Thackeray cuts birthday cake with Owaisi's face on it

Mumbai: A cake with the image of MIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi was cut during the celebrations to mark the birthday of MNS chief Raj Thackeray here on Tuesday, evoking a strong reaction from the Hyderabad-based party.

Mr Thackeray 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.

The action drew condemnation from the MIM, whose MLA Waris Pathan demanded action against those who cut the cake.

Mr Thackeray had targeted Mr Owaisi triggering  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.
