NEW DELHI: Maharashtra Navnirman Sena members, along with other political party workers, forced a Gujarat BJP MLA's office, located in Seawoods, Navi Mumbai, to remove a Gujarati signboard on Monday.

The party had previously issued an ultimatum demanding the board's removal last week.
Led by MNS Navi Mumbai City Secretary Sachin Kadam, representatives from Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress, and Nationalist Congress Party (SP) organised a demonstration to the NRI Sagari police station.
The group submitted their request to authorities, demanding the immediate replacement of the Gujarati board with a Marathi one. They also requested action against those who they claimed had "insulted" Marathi identity .
NRI Sagari police station's Senior Inspector Sunil Kadam provided assurance that the disputed board would be removed promptly.
Following this assurance, MNS supporters visited the BJP office where the Gujarati plaque was removed under police supervision.
The MNS released a statement saying, "In the presence of the police, the Gujarati plaque was removed. And the BJP MLA's worker publicly apologised to all the Marathi people and assured to install the Marathi dais within a few hours."Maharashtra Navnirman Sena
