Athawale said his party would call for Lonavala bandh on October 29 if the cartoonist is not evicted by then.

Last week,Athawale had objected to TV channel Colors including Trivedi in the reality show ‘Bigg Boss’,alleging that he had insulted various symbols of India and denigrated the Constitution.

The marchers gathered from various parts of the state,including Mumbai,Thane,Nashik and Pune. The show is being shot in a bungalow in the hill town of Lonavala,about 100 kms from Mumbai.

Trivedi was an unknown entity till he targeted various Indian symbols like the tricolour,the Ashok Chakra,Parliament and the Constitution,Athawale said.
