Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) Chief Raj Thackeray has clarified his stand regarding alleged ‘contemptuous’ statements made by him earlier this week. Speaking to the media, he maintained that newspapers had misquoted large parts of what he said, and urged the court to read his statement in context. “Till today, I have not addressed a press conference in English. Some reporters deliberately published my statements after making subtle changes to show me in poor light,” he stated.
