Thackeray apologises after writer dropped from literary meet
MNS chief Raj Thackeray has issued an apology after organisers of a Marathi literary meet withdrew an invitation extended to writer Nayantara Sahgal based on threats from a MNS worker. Urging MNS workers not to make statements on sensitive issues without consulting him, Thackeray said he had no objection to Sahgal's presence. "We wholeheartedly welcome her," he added.
