MUMBAI: The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) today rejected actress Jaya Bachchan's apology published in an English daily here and asked her to tender a public apology on camera over her 'anti-Marathi' remarks.
"We cannot accept the apology expressed to an English paper. She should speak in front of the entire media, specially the regional," MNS leader Shishir Shinde told PTI.
Taking a strong objection to Jaya's remarks, Raj Thackeray had yesterday declared a 'ban' on films involving the Bachchan family till she tendered an unconditional apology. Jaya today offered her apology to the people of Maharashtra in a Mumbai daily, saying she had no intention to hurt the sentiments of Marathi people. "MNS activists are not ready to accept her apology in this manner and will continue their protest by not allowing Bachchan's films to be released," Shinde said.
"This is not the issue of MNS alone. It is about Maharashtra and Marathi people and MNS will continue the protest until she tenders an unconditional apology," he said. The Mumbai police have issued a prohibitory order preventing MNS chief Raj Thackeray from making provocative speeches and holding press conferences for a month.
