The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) on Thursday appointed a new president for its Pune city unit, days after party leader Vasant More took a different stand on Raj Thackeray's directive demanding removal of loudspeakers from mosques.

The party made the announcement about the new appointment on social media, with a photograph of party president Thackeray handing over the appointment letter to party leader Sainath Babar.
