MNS Issues Warning to kapil sharma Over Use of 'Bombay' in His Show
MNS Warns Kapil Sharma
The maharashtra navnirman sena (MNS) has issued a stern warning to comedian Kapil Sharma.
The party objects to Kapil referring to mumbai as 'Bombay' or 'Bambai' in his show.
Allegation of Disrespecting the City
MNS stated that using the old names is an insult to the identity and pride of Mumbai.
The party emphasized that mumbai should be referred to by its official name only.
Demand to Stop Immediately
MNS demanded that Kapil immediately stop using 'Bombay' or 'Bambai' on his show or in any public content.
They have warned of strict action if he continues this practice.
No Official Response Yet
As of now, kapil sharma has not responded publicly to MNS's warning.
His popular show, The Great indian Kapil Show, often features casual use of city names in humor.
Ongoing Sensitivity Around Mumbai’s Name
The name bombay was officially changed to mumbai in 1995, and political parties like MNS and shiv sena strongly defend the name.
Any use of the old name often draws sharp criticism from regional parties.
MNS Known for Regional Stance
Led by raj Thackeray, MNS has a history of taking hardline positions on issues related to Marathi identity and Mumbai.
The party has targeted celebrities and companies in the past over similar issues.
This development reflects the continued sensitivity over cultural and regional identity in Maharashtra, particularly concerning Mumbai’s historical and official name.
