MUMBAI: Police arrested activists of the Raj Thackeray led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) in Mira-Bhayandar area after they tried to take out a morcha on the Marathi issue while opposing the imposition of Hindi from Grade 1 in Maharashtra.
They hit the streets to counter the morcha organised by traders.
MNS activists strongly protested the police's decision of allowing traders to take out a rally while turning down their request.
The traders had organised a morcha to protest against the beating of a shopkeeper by MNS men last week.
