The Supreme Court on Monday asked MNS chief Raj Thackeray to desist from making provocative speeches targeting North Indians, which has led to several criminal cases being lodged against him in different parts of the country.

"This (filing of criminal cases) will continue against you. Why don't you stop this sort of things. You go on making such statements," a Bench comprising Chief Justice KG Balakrishnan and Justice BS Chauhan said.

The observations by the Bench was made during the petition filed by Thackeray seeking shifting the three cases filed in Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand recently against him to the national capital.
