A Jharkhand Court has issued a fresh non-bailable arrest warrant against Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray.

The NBW was issued after Raj failed to appear in court in connection with a case pertaining to his alleged derogatory remarks over 'chhat' festival.

Judicial Magistrate A K Tiwari issued the warrant and asked the Mumbai police commissioner to execute the order.

Next hearing will be held on 18 Dec.

Raj's counsel argued that he could not appear in person on security grounds.

The Supreme Court on Friday said 'NO' to a petition seeking registration of a criminal case under MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organised Crimes Act) against MNS chief Raj Thackeray.

An NGO Yuva Shakti filed the petition against Raj for his party's hate campaign and violence against north Indians in Mumbai.

 "It is not our duty to pass orders for registering cases," said a Bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan.

"Don't convert this court into police station," the Court said. Justice P Sathasivan was also a member of the bench.

In reaction to the propaganda by Raj Thackeray and other leaders that ‘outsiders’ were taking away jobs from locals in Maharashtra, Industries Minister Ashok Chavan clarified on Tuesday that the government resolution asking industrial units to reserve 80% jobs for the “locals”, is just a directive - it was not mandatory.
