DNA<\/i> has reported<\/a> that you and your family are “willing to face any punishment if found guilty.”<\/p>\nGuilty for what? For hurting Marathi pride? However tasteless you or Raj may find it, do you see it as a crime that deserves ‘punishment’? <\/p>\n
That is what your statement implies, and it does a disservice to your fellow citizens and to the cause of free speech.<\/p>\n
Also, it actually furthers Raj Thackeray’s agenda. I hope you sleep well at night now.<\/p>\n
