Referring to the campaign unleashed by the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), Bhatt emphasised that despite differences, they were united.

"We are not here to complain. We are here to say that we are all one and let us not get fragmented. MNS is like my brother, and while his way of thinking may differ from mine, it’s okay. I would appeal to my brothers in MNS to join us and not let terrorists win the battle by making us fragmented," he said.
