MNS - Raj Thackeray holds Mumbai hostage

22Oct2008 Filed under: Latest News Author: jaggy

Even before MNS chief Raj Thackeray was produced in the Bandra court in Mumbai, over 2,000 slogan-raising supporters had gathered there, and the police resorted to a lathi-charge to bring the situation under control around Tuesday noon.

MNS supporters resorted to stone-pelting at police vehicles outside the Bandra court. The supporters also stoned a police van carrying detained MNS activists.

Violence erupted in several parts of Mumbai and Maharashtra following the arrest of MNS chief Raj Thackeray in the early hours of Tuesday from the Circuit House in Ratnagiri district, Maharashtra.
Angry activists of the MNS came out on the streets after the arrest of Raj Thackeray and attacked several taxis and auto rickshaws at Mumbai Central, Parel, Borivali and other parts of the city.
“Arrest me and be ready to bear the consequences…. You will have to regret,” Raj Thackeray, who was attending a ceremony at Bahadursheikh Naka in Chiplun in the state on Monday, said.

Arrest of people like Raj Thackeray is essentially required for sustenance of Indian Democracy. People like Raj Thackeray who is responsible for inciting violence and preaching the doctrine of divide and rule for their own selfish political motives should be thrown behind bar.

We all know that Raj is doing these stunts for political gain and big bucks for himself, being a Maharashtrian myself, I wish he should have done something to save our farmers from commiting suicide or to help in curbing terrorism in the state, the list of burning issues is endless.

It’s a matter of deep irony & Double Standards that Raj Thackeray’s son learns German and even the local website he made was in English before media caught attention, which prompted them to change the website over night. Raj is trying to portray himself as the next Sena Tiger. Mr. Thackeray, if you have courage then why aren’t you voicing against spiralling underworld crime that has so engulfed Mumbai.

Weather its Raj, Lalu or Amar Singh, they all are creating a poisonous environment in India. They all are giving venomous speeches just to be one-up against the other without the slightest regard for the democracy and its public.

We need a strong and a patriotic dictator to rule us somebody like Sardar Patel who integrated 500 states into one nation. People like Raj are a big threat to the country’s sovereignty & democracy. The law should be amended to award strictest punishment to people like Raj who are a threat to the peace and prosperity of our nation.

Raj must be in jails with all his supporters for atleast 5 years and let a common work live his normal life. The selection should be on the basis of merit everywhere.

i support the mns cause against anti-discrimination but i don’t support there violent ways. btw, the protesters were not MNS people but common angry marathi speaking people who took the streets today. not raj’s gundha’s like the TV says. i like to look at the root of the problem and a problem which our north-indian news channels have cunningly ignored to telecast to argue about - unemployment in bihar/UP.

i think a state or any state is only equipped to handle it’s own baggage. if there are people coming in then there should be equal people going out. a balance has to be maintained. the administrations of UP and bihar have failed to provide jobs to it’s own stock and which is why the stock considers traveling to other states for jobs. the people to blame here is not raj thackray or MNS or north indians… but it’s the administration of these two states who are to blame.

but since lallu controls the railway ministry and SP holds the UPA govt. together any actions against them is very unlikely. finally, it also shows the discrimination and vote bank politics played by the UPA govt. the common marathi voice speaks. no it screams.

I echo your voice lurker. News channel, media wants just sensational news with no efforts to go the real truth. And now even Zor Se Bol, whom I thought to be one good site has also presented just the news, not facts. However I feel Zor se bol is about Zor se bol from common people.

I m a north indian and i was also angry with Raj thackeray’s move. I started shouting Anti MNS and Anti Raj, but then I thought, why he is doing so. Then came the real reason. We are a vast nation with so many languages, religion and region. Even though we are Indians, we cannot ignore the fact that we are divided into regions, which have its own culture, language and way of living.

Imagine someone comes in your locality and tries to change the way you speak, the culture you follow and even take away the jobs you do, how will you feel? The same thing is happening in Maharastra and other developed states of India.

Lalooji you want to ban MNS, but can i question you - What kind of job opportunities you and your government created in Bihar? You ate away the food for the cattle, so how can we expect you to give food to your people.

Mayawati - you even wanted to ban the Railway project, how can expect growth in your state. You are good with counter attacks, giving provocative speeches that also written by your assistants, but when it comes to job opportunities it null! West UP is CRIME Hub, what are you doing to stop that - NOTHING?

Amar Singh - Life mein kuch achcha kaam kiye ho? Going around Amitabh Bachchan or high profile is that why you have become a politican?

Dun you all have any Zameer? Kitna Khaoge, Kitna lootoge India ko!

I strongly condemn voilence but Government has to look into this problem, which has plauged India and has caused problems every now and then.

Finally, as responsible citizens even the Biharis and UPites working should force their respective state govt to create more job opportunities there so that they can have more regional stay.
