Apropos the report, Manohar Parrikar, Venkaiah Naidu flay MNS’ `5-Crore deal on ADHM (Oct.26), the `5 crore donation imposed by MNS chief Raj Thackeray on Karan Johar for the safe release of his movie has rightly been termed as “extortion money” and refused by the Army, shattering Mr Thackeray’s plan to project himself as a big nationalist. Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, by calling Mr Thackeray for a meeting, legitimised Mr Thackeray’s politics of bullying and violence. After Union home minister Rajnath Singh’s assurance to the filmmakers, the job of the CM was to enforce the rule of law and take to task the troublemakers.
