Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) President Raj Thackeray declared that the proposed boycott of Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Dilwale‘, a call given by MNS Chitrapat Sena (MNSCS), is not the official stand of MNS.
“I wish to make it clear that the MNS Chitrapat Sena’s (MNSCS) decision to boycott the Film (Dilwale) is not the official stand of the party,” Raj Thackeray said in a released statement in Mumbai.
His statement came in the wake of MNSCS chief Amey Khopkar’s proposal to the masses to boycott ‘Dilwale‘ to be released on December 18, as Shah Rukh remained unmoved by the plight of Maharashtra Farmers but donated Rs 1 crore to the flood-hit people of Chennai.
Raj Thackeray added in his release statement, “Shah Rukh Khan donated Rs 1 crore for people who have been affected by Chennai (floods) tragedy. But he has forgotten drought-hit farmers of Maharashtra. This has been condemned by the Chitrapat Sena.”
“What it (Chitrapat Sena) is saying is right. Coming to Maharashtra, becoming big, earning a name for yourself and then forgetting the state is not right. He (Shah Rukh) should understand this. Nevertheless, I want to make it clear that Chitrapat Sena’s stand of boycotting the film is not an official stand of the party,” he added.
Meanwhile Shah Rukh, who is busy with the promotions of ‘Dilwale’, did not delve into any statement when he was asked to comment on this issue.
