Mumbai: Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray on Saturday slammed the Owaisi brothers (Asaduddin and Akbaruddin).

Alleging the Asaduddin Owaisi and Akbaruddin Owaisi are financed by the BJP, Thackeray dared the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslim chief to come to Maharashtra.

“Come to Maharashtra, I will put a knife to your throat,” he challenged Asaduddin Owaisi on his remark that he would not chant ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ even if a knife is put to his throat.

Addressing a 'Gudhi Padwa' rally of his party at Shivaji Park here last night, Thackeray also targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of "betraying the trust" and dared the Shiv Sena to quit the BJP-led government which, he claimed, wasn't giving due credit to the Uddhav Thackeray-led party.
