On Monday, the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) claimed that Karachi Bakery was forced to shut its only shop in Mumbai owing to a protest over its name.
Taking to Twitter, Vice President of MNS Haji Saif Shaikh, wrote, After massive protest on Karachi Bakery for its name #Karachi led by Vice President of MNS - @mnshajisaif karachi bakery finally closes its only shop in Mumbai.
On Wednesday, Shaikh posted a victorious tweet saying, After massive protest on Karachi Bakery for its name #Karachi led by the Vice President of MNS, karachi bakery finally closes its only shop in Mumbai.
However, the manager of the bakery, Rameshwar Waghmare, said the closure was not provoked by the renaming controversy. We shut shop after the old lease agreement lapsed. Our landlord had been demanding a higher sum as rent which was unviable for us, he said.
He added, The Covid-19 lockdown had already caused business volumes to drop. We did stave off closure for a few months but finally decided to close.
