Another morcha coming up at 4 p.m. Wonder what tea time snack they will bring with them ?

The celebrity author received a wave of support and some criticism on Twitter

What's happening in Mumbai with @DeShobhaa &her take on Marathi films diktat would be comic if it werent so tragic an example of intolerance

The irony is, if @DeShobhaa contests a Presidential election on any symbol, Shiv Sena will be first to support her quoting Marathi pride.

The protests against @DeShobhaa by the Shiv Sena heralds the launch of election campaigning for the BMC elections. Ridiculous!

Shiv Sena brings dahi misal and vada pav to @DeShobhaa home!! ha ha ha..gotta love the netajis

Shiv Sena bullying @DeShobhaa for her opinions, to position themselves as marathi saviours, is not cool. Save farmers, don't attack authors.

If @DeShobhaa has the right to protest & ridicule the govt then #Shivsena also hs the right to protest & doesn't need her for publicity.
