Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray on Friday appealed to his party workers that amid rising cases of Coronavirus in the state, nothing is more valuable to him than the lives of his workers. He has appealed to his followers not to plan any event on his birthday. Raj Thackeray said that he will meet MNS workers once the situation is under control. He said that he is proud of them as they have reached out to the needy by spending from their pockets and risking their own lives.
Raj Thackeray wrote in his letter: "I was receiving positive feedback from various quarters about the courage and kindness displayed by my Maharashtra Sainiks. I stand overwhelmed and find myself blessed to have such colleagues as you all.
He also appealed: "There is no respite from this Coronavirus pandemic. The entire atmosphere is gloomy and somber. In such a time, a birthday celebration doesn't feel right. I earnestly instruct and request all my party office bearers to not come by and wish me personally."
