After a howl of protests from the ruling Shiv Sena, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) president Raj Thackeray on Monday ordered his partymen not to refer to him as the 'Hindu Hridaysamrat' (Emperor of Hindu Hearts).

"There are some social media posts with banners mentioning Raj Thackeray as the 'Hindu Hridaysamrat'. He has instructed us not to refer to him by that title since the late Balasaheb Thackeray is the only 'Hindu Hridaysamrat'," a sombre party senior leader Bala Nandgaonkar later told media persons here.
