“Karachi Bakery Has Nothing To Do With Pakistan”: Sanjay Raut Over Viral Video

Mr Raut said Karachi Bakery and Karachi Sweets have nothing to do with Pakistan and their name change at this moment will not make any sense as these outlets are there for the last 60 years now.

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut, hours after a video went viral showing a Shiv Sena leader asking the Karachi Sweets owner to change the name of the outlet to something Marathi, said Karachi Bakery and Karachi Sweets have nothing to do with Pakistan and their name change at this moment will not make any sense as these outlets are there for the last 60 years now.

Responding on the issue, Sanjay Raut tweeted: “Karachi bakery and karachi sweets have been in mumbai since last 60 years. They have nothing to do with Pakistan . It makes no sense to ask for changing their names now.Demand for changing their name is not shivsena’s official stance.”

This comes after Shiv Sena leader Nitin Nandgaonkar asked an outlet of Karachi Sweets in the Bandra West area of Mumbai to change its name to “something in Marathi”.

Saying that he hates the word ‘Karachi’ because of its association with Pakistan, Nandgaonkar had himself posted the video on Facebook.

“Our soldiers are dying because of the terrorists and hence this name isn’t acceptable in Mumbai and Maharashtra. You keep your name or your family name but not Karachi. We are giving you time and you change it,” Nandgaonkar was heard telling the shop owner.
