Shiv Sena protests outside Shobhaa De's home with Vada Pav: Twitter erupts

A few workers of Shiv Sena landed outside author Shobhaa De’s home on Thursday afternoon to protest against her tweets after the Maharashtra government declared that multiplexes will have to screen one Marathi film in prime time slots in one auditorium. [caption id=“attachment_2190801” align=“alignleft” width=“380” class=" “] ![Shobhaa De. Image courtesy: IBNLive](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/shobhaaa_IBN1.jpg) Shobhaa De. Image courtesy: IBNLive[/caption] After Shobhaa De’s tweets on Tuesday, where the writer termed the current Fadnavis government’s attitude similar to ‘dadagiri’, Shiv Sena legislator Pratap Sarnaik moved a breach of privilege notice and demanded action against her on Wednesday. Shobhaa De tweeted at around 1 pm on Thursday saying:

Anshu Lal of Firstpost writes that the address of the author was circulated by partymen on WhatsApp and around 1.30 on Thursday afternoon, a bunch of Shiv Sena workers showed up in front of the author’s with a tray of vada pav and misal pav – just like Shobhaa De said in her tweets! While the author kept tweeting developments as they unfolded, Twitter just couldn’t get over the fact that Shiv Sena, who have been famous for their more violent protests, actually embraced Gandhigiri and showed up with a tray of vada pav at the author’s house! It was quite anti-climatic because before the Shiv Sena workers actually came marching to the author’s house, Shobhaa De tweeted:

But once photos of the party workers carrying vada pav surfaced on the internet, Twitter erupted with laughter!

Shobhaa De reacted as well:
