A Shiv Sena party leader created controversy on Thursday by threatening Bandra-based Karachi Sweets shop owner to change the name because of its 'Pakistani origin'. In a viral video on Facebook, Nitin Nandgaonkar was seen giving the shop owner 15 days to make the change even as the owner explained that his ancestors gave the shop the name as they came from Karachi after Partition. Responding to the incident, Sena leader Sanjay Raut tweeted that it is not the party's stand.

Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) also jumped in and sent a legal notice to another sweet shop, Karachi Bakery, to change its name. MNS workers also protested outside this shop. Khar police summoned the people associated with the protest and warned them not to indulge in any activity that may lead to a law and order situation.
