Maharashtra Navnirman Sena President Raj Thackeray has supported Nupur Sharma, who is embroiled in controversies, by giving a statement on Prophet Mohammad. Supporting the suspended BJP spokesperson, he said, "everyone had asked her to apologize. But what Nupur Sharma had said, Zakir Naik had also said the same thing earlier. No one had demanded an apology from Naik." Raj Thackeray said this while talking to India Today. During this, he targeted AIMIM MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi and said that he had made objectionable remarks on Hindu gods and goddesses many times.

Raj Thackeray said that when I was in Shiv Sena, Balasaheb Thackeray had decided that the party which has more MLAs will have its chief minister.
