Decrying police action against his party leaders and workers following the announcement of an agitation to remove loudspeakers from mosques, MNS president Raj Thackeray has warned his estranged cousin and Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, to not push ‘his and his people’s’ patience to the extreme.

“I have only one thing to tell the government. Do not see the end of our patience. Power comes and goes. Nobody, not even you Uddhav Thackeray, has come with a licence to be in power forever,” said Raj in a letter that he posted on social media on Tuesday.  He said his party’s rank and file was arrested even before they could protest on May 4.
