In what would be a major show of strength, leaders and cadre of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has decided to accompany Raj Thackeray when he appears before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday.
However, Raj, the nephew of late Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray, had appealed for calm.
That MNS leaders and workers would go to the ED regional office in Mumbai emerged at a meeting of senior leaders.
On Sunday, ED summoned Raj vis-a-vis alleged irregularities related to Infrastructure Leasing & Finance Services (IL&FS) loan in Kohinoor CTNL.
“When Raj saheb goes to ED office, we are going to be with him,” senior MNS leader and close Raj aide Bala Nandgaonkar said. “Since the ED notice, we are flooded with calls, messages and support on the social media,” said Nandgaonkar, who was a minister in the erstwhile Sena-BJP government.
