What to do with Thakre

I strongly condemn Bal Thakre for his remarks given against Salman Khan in his mouthorgan newspaper through which he use to play his hate speech. Every Indian barring a few hundred gang men (I will not say party men) of Thakres (both Raj and Bal) will firmly condemn statement given by Mr Raut, spokesmen of Mr. Bal Thakre that he as desired by his mentor Bal Thakre, cannot allow Khan to invite Pakistani player to play cricket in Mumbai, that Khan should go to Karachi or Islamabad for living he has so much love for Pakistani players.. Thakre’s gang men passed dirty remarks against Shahrukh Khan‘s newly produced and acted film “My name is Khan”.

Shiv Sena Sainiks created ugly scene in Mumbai by tearing out posters of Khan’s film and causing loss to public property at some places. All these happened before camera of media. It was well exposed on almost all TV channels. There is no doubt in it that both. Thakres have crossed limit in their hate speech, not once or two or three but on several times in the past. Police remained silent spectator of all these ugly events.

Hate speech Master Mr. Bal Thakre or Mr Raj Thakre are two sides of the same coin. They passed condemnable remarks against North Indians on so many occasions in the past. They did not spare even great industrialist Mr. Mukesh Ambani, great cricketer Mr. Sachin Tendulkar and great Film star Mr. Abhitabh Bachhan. Who are reputed and respected not only in India but in the entire world. Thakres named above did not spare even unskilled workers like coolies, taxi drivers, student and road side workers who are from other states and working in Mumbai or in Maharashtra

Their remarks against Khan or any Indian who hail from other states or who do not know Marathi are absolutely bad and very much irritating against any Indian and undoubtedly promote hatred ness in entire Muslim community not only in Pakistan but also in India and elsewhere in the world too. Their remarks have annoyed North Indian living in not only in Mumbai or Maharashtra but also all who lives outside Maharashtra.

.Such type of condemnable speech and bad behavior of Thakres have created fear among all servicemen, businessmen, professionals, film makers, industrialist and traders of Maharashtra. Thakres have badly polluted business environment and adversely affected social harmony. Thakres have endangered unity and integrity of the country, federal structure provided in Indian Constitution has faced brutal attack by these Thakres.
Every non Marathi will fear in going to Mumbai and a day will come when Marathis will be beaten and abused if found outside Maharashtra.

India is crying for Indians being attacked In Australia. It is painful that Indians are being attacked in India by Indians and out central government is silent spectator of what have been repeatedly happening for last several years.

When Varun‘s tongue slipped during his election speech in UP , Ms Mayawati booked him under National Security Act.. Central government indirectly supported her act because Varun Gandhi belonged to Bhartiya Janta Party. , Mr. Rahul Gandhi and Ms Sonia Gandhi extended their veiled support to UP government in keeping Varun in jail without proving any charge and that too under NSA which is meant for using against anti national elements. Almost every party condemned Varun and his party BJP for his so called hate speech.

I am unable to understand why Mumbai police and Maharashtra state government is not arresting Mr. Bal Thakre or Mr. Raj Thakre or anyone who misuse the freedom of speech granted under Democracy, who is dividing Indians and creating hatredness, disturbing social peace, whose speech is against the spirit of the democracy or who is posing threat to business climate and economic health of not only Maharashtra but also entire nation.

Police of Maharastra says that they will not hesitate to take action against those who acts against the established law. I would like to ask Mumbai police whether the acts of Shiv Sainiks shown on TV is lawful and whether the hate speech of Mr. Bal Thakre published in the newspaper is good for peace living Indians. I am unable to understand why and how long these lame excuses of police officials should be tolerated by Maharashtra government and common Indians.

Are police officers not forcing civilian to take laws in to their hands to punished extremists like Bal or Raj Thakre. I will be fully justified n saying that there is full support of Maharastra government to police officials and it is they who advise police community not to take action against above Thakre and his associates because it ultimately helps Congress Party to create their vote bank and divide the vote banks of other parties like Shiv Sena and BJP. Obviously Congress Party has vested interest in promoting the hate culture and it is Congress party which is dividing the nation on the ground of caste or region or religion and putting blame tactfully on other National Parties in the name of secularism. Congress Party is in fact creating another Bhinderwale in Maharastra for self interest and there is no doubt that the party will lose its image in Maharastra as it faced erosion in the sate of Punjab.

I however do not hesitate in condemning Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh; the head of the country for being silent spectator of open rape of democracy in the hands of Thakres and their gangsters.Inidans want to see his effectiveness. Indians dreamed of good governance in the hands of Man Mohan Singh. But unfortunately all dreams have been shattered by Mr. Manmohan Singh. His simplicity will prove very mush costly for the country. If he continues to allow anarchy to grow in the fashion it is growing in Maharashtra and spreading in other parts of the country slowly but steadily like cancer of corruption or naxalism or terrorism , I have no doubt that Man Mohan Singh is facing erosion in his respectability in the country. There is no hesitation to me in requesting voters of Maharastra to teach a lesson to Congress Party and Shiv Sena in the next election.. I do not hesitate in blaming BJP too who is associated with party like Shiv Sena for the sake of political survival in the state of Maharashtra.

As of now people are so much annoyed with Mr. Thakre (I am fully confident) that any individual or any political party which take initiative to isolate and penalize Shiv Sena will be praised by Indians all over the country. Political party breaking relation with Shiv Sena at this stage will gain political advantage instead of loosing.

Raj Thakre of Ashok Chauhan

Raj Thakre and his goonda elements of MNS (Maharastra Navnirman Sena) in the recent past had created controversy in Maharashtra assembly by insisting elected members to take oath in Marathi. Mr. Abu Azmi of Samajwadi Party (SP) was abused and even slapped in the assembly for trying to take oath in Hindi. Congress Party remained silent spectator and later shed crocodile tears. Shiv Sena found Mr. Raj Thakre playing his flute and hence thought it better to remain silent. BJP being partner of Shiv Sena in politics was in doldrums. In brief none of political party other than SP had courage to stop ugly scene happening in the assembly in fear of loss of Marathi votes. As a consequence there was shameful incident in oath ceremony in Assembly of Maharashtra which was watched and ridiculed all over the country. This was a ridiculous and ludicrous illustration of unity among diversity among politicians and it proved that politicians of various colours were united on Marathi card and they can go to any mean extent for the sake of vote bank.

Earlier to that incident Mr. Thakre and his henchmen attacked on North Indians on many issues. Taxi drivers were beaten and students from Bihar or UP appearing for examination were beaten. All these incidents were against the spirit of the Constitution. But national parties including ruling UPA led by Congress Party allowed rape of Constitution only because it was a question of Marathi vote bank .only because it was a question of survival for many politicians who did not possess any other quality to show performance to voters to lure them. It is shameful and painful that Marathis who fought battle against British are now fighting against their Indian brother only because they hail from North India and not from Maharasthra.

Now the Chief Minister of Maharashtra Mr. Ashok Chauhan has played the same card as played by Raj Thakre. Mr. Chauhan, another version of Raj thakre has created similar history by framing a rule for drivers and making it compulsory for them to be domicile of Maharastra (15 years stay in Maharastra) and to possess skill of reading, writing and speaking Marathi to obtain license for driving in the state of Maharastra. It was said in the recent past that Mr. Raj Thakre was bent upon teaching a lesson to his uncle Bal thakre in politics and ambitious to come to power and hence he adopted short cut but condemnable path of using Marathi card. But Ashok Chauhan is already the head of the state and he need not follow the same path. Moreover Mr. Ashok Chauhan represents a National party and holding responsible post of Chief Minister. It is expected that he should understand the spirit of the Constitution, respect the oath he had taken while becoming CM and at least visualize and be cautious about the repercussion of such senseless decisions imposed on Taxi drivers. His counterparts in other states will not remain silent spectator of Tuglaq like rule of Mr. Chauhan and a few of them may not hesitate in framing similar rules in their states.

I would like to raise one pertinent question here , why only taxi drivers are only made scapegoat for political battle played by politicians for their vested interest at the cost of national image, All offices in private or public sector , all manufacturing units in the sate of Maharashtra are manned by person belonging to other states and who are neither domicile nor well versed in Marathi . Non Marathis skilled or unskilled are doing their business or job in the state of Maharastra and are in millions and spread in each nook and corner of the state. Even government offices and state assembly is having many members who belong to other states and who are not well versed in Marathi. Why the same rule as applicable for taxi drivers is not made applicable for all Non Marathis if our dirty politicians at all consider Marathi language as the one and only tool to survive in politics. CEOs of many companies, banks and insurance companies and many other organizations are not well versed in Marathi and hence Mr. Ashok Chauhan should remove them first before victimizing poor taxi drivers without whom entire transportation system of Maharashtra and specially Mumbai will be jeopardized.

It is worthwhile to mention here that people with origin of Bihar, Jharkhand, and UP are working not only in the state of Maharashtra but also in other states of the country and other countries of the world. Millions of Indians are working abroad and any move with narrow approach of ruling Congress Party may create more confusion, chaos and conflicts. If Non Marathis working in the state of Maharastra unite together , agitate and launch a movement against the dictatorial and whimsical decision of the ruler I think it will lead to uncontrollable law and order situation in city like Mumbai.

And it is also true that thousands of Marathis passing out from hundreds of engineering, Medical, Biomedical and other professional Colleges in the state of Maharastra are employed elsewhere, especially in the southern states. Marathis who are doing their service in other states especially in southern states where all IT giants are situated do not understand the local language like Kannad, Tamil or Telgu. If state government in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh also make similar rules as framed for taxi drivers in Maharastra I think it will create havoc in the country and prove costly for unity and integrity of the country.

Lastly but not the least, even if it is assumed that politics and politicians of Maharastra may not depend on North Indians, it is bitter truth that at least economy of the state cannot run smoothly without the support of person of different skills hailing from not only different parts of the country but also different part of the world. There are many such industrial units when the country needs and seeks know-how as also technological support from other parts of the world and people coming from abroad do not know Marathi or Hindi or even English. Role of drivers in the economy cannot be under estimated and should be well respected .

I hope learned Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh, prudent thinker Ms Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi of National congress Party will take immediate step to nip in the bud and make all efforts to maintain unity and integrity of the country. Any dilly- dally attitude on such sensitive issues may bring Toofan in future. It is better to punish harshly person like Mr. Ashok Chauhan who do not have respect for the Constitution and who indulge in dirty politics , Raj Thakre brand politics which is condemned throughout the country. If Ashok chauhan is removed immediately it will send positive signal throughout the country and sound alarm bell for them who are also aspiring to follow the same dirty path if given an opportunity,
