MNS leader Avinash Jadhav issues a sharp warning to BJP MLA Parinay Phuke; says, "If you have the courage, try getting 'Saheb's' security removed."

Thane: BJP MLA Parinay Phuke had criticized MNS President Raj Thackeray over his remarks regarding a 'regime change.' Phuke claimed that Raj Thackeray is making tall claims while relying on the security provided by Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis. He argued that since Thackeray holds no constitutional position, there is no need for such extensive security, adding that if the security were withdrawn, Thackeray wouldn't even dare to step out of his house. MNS leader Avinash Jadhav has hit back strongly at this criticism. Jadhav stated, "A few months ago, a personal family matter involving Parinay Phuke was brought to 'Saheb's' (Raj Thackeray's) attention. 'Saheb' asked me to meet him. It was 'Saheb's' firm stance not to get involved in personal family disputes. Had we intervened back then, Parinay Phuke wouldn't have been able to show his face anywhere in Maharashtra." Jadhav further issued a direct challenge to Phuke: "Raj Thackeray is a man of great stature when it comes to friendship. If you have the courage, try getting 'Saheb's' police protection removed—then we shall see how you manage to move around in Maharashtra!" With this, MNS leader Avinash Jadhav has issued an open challenge to BJP MLA Parinay Phuke.
