Mumbai, Maharashtra

The Cine Workers Association, a wing of Raj Thackeray�s Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), has threatened TV channel Sony of dire consequences if it did not take Pakistani comedian Shakeel Siddiqui off its laughter show immediately.

The association has sent a threat letter to the channel at its office in Malad. Demanding immediate removal of Siddiqui from its show, the letter threatened the channel that it would be difficult for it to air its programmes in Maharashtra if it does not heed to the diktat.
