Expats ask U.S. to put MNS on terror watch list
By   IANS
Monday, 03 November 2008, 03:29 Hrs
 
Patna: A group of non-resident Indians (NRI) has asked the U.S. to put Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) on the "list of terrorist organisations which are out to hurt the humanity".

"We requested the U.S. department of state to put Raj Thackeray and his group Maharashtra Navnirman Sena on the list of terrorist organisations which are out to hurt the humanity," said a letter to US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice by the US-based NRI group called Humane Mumbai.




NRI Ravi Verma, who hails from Katihar in Bihar, formed the group Humane Mumbai.

"There are several Indians of Marathi origin who were among the first to join the group Humane Mumbai," Verma told IANS over phone from California.

After the hue and cry in India in the wake of the attacks on non-Maharashtrians, the Indian diaspora is also not taking this lightly, he said.

"The Indian diaspora prays that there is never an insane (person) like Raj Thackeray in the US or UK who starts a US or UK Navnirman Sena and instigates attacks on the Indians living there," Verma said.

Verma said Humane Mumbai initiated the process of putting Raj Thackeray and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena on the infamous terror watch list Thursday.

Once Raj Thackeray is on the terror watch list, they will be under surveillance by the US for their activities, he said.

Verma, CEO of Telecommand Software and Services in the Silicon Valley, said there was widespread dismay among Indians throughout the world over the persecution of people of North Indian origin living in or visiting Maharashtra.

Indians of Marathi origin are particularly embarrassed at the events back home, he said.

The protests continued in Bihar, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh against the attacks on non-Maharashtrians.

Railway Minister Lalu Prasad and Steel Minister Ramvilas Paswan have demanded a judicial probe into the killing of Rahul Raj, a youth from Patna, in a Mumbai bus by police Monday and the lynching of Dharamdev Ramnarain Rai from Uttar Pradesh the next day.

Another youth, Pawan Kumar from Bihar's Nalanda district, was allegedly killed by MNS activists in Mumbai after he had gone there to take a railway recruitment exam.

1: dear bhaiya friends, first look at the bias made by Bhaiya media.
Biharis beaten up in other states:- issue becomes national and all bhaiya media condemns it together on bihari hindi channels.
Marathis beaten up in Belgaon :- Bhaiya media don't even condemn it.
Raj do it again. Biharis deserve that all

2: WHO CARES what US thinks that is happening in India. So my question to these smart Bhiharis is ‘What initiatives do they have to fix issues in Bihar’. Nobody has seen any progress with Bihar for long time. Still they continue to elect person like Lalu. I am definitely sure Raj Thakre has woken up many folks to read on the issue and its background on the question ‘WHY’. Since the topic of north indians in Maharashtra has brought, I had been following some Bihar news and they are TERRIBLE. I would say that someone should protect Maharashtra OR any other state with this type of crowd. In short, I will continue to contribute to cause. I wont like Maharahstra to be another Bihar.

3: I have short story. here it is
X is one community and Y is community superior than X.
X people join Y to have better lifestyle and better opportunities. Y people then
start complaining that X are stupid and dirty people ruining social and
economical balance of their community. Y want to have X out of them.

now put X as India and Y as US.
people who are yelling are north Indians are telling proudly in public that My
son got green card or My daughter is now settled in California. what if US one
day kicks of all Indians and send them back to home

My Idea of Society and freedom is
Everyone is free to choose their lifestyle
Humans get support from other HUMANS for constructive acts like establishing
business.
MOST IMP - If a state is not maintaining success well enough then find RIGHT
CAUSE hire better economist to analyze whole situation and improve Academic
Sector to the fullest.

7: I am surprised with Raj & MNS, & also feel sad what is he teaching his kids. If we are living in Mumbai Raj is not feeding us we are working and earning our bread & butter. Look like Raj & his gang is afraid of competing with us. Today any organization will recruit the best resource in their company. Now if Raj scared to compete with us. We are Indians first and have every right to stay where ever we feel like.

8: Supreme Court verdict says We thought we are all Indians and equal citizens of this country. India keeps its national integration, secularism, since independence.
Some people here are talking rubbish. Raj Thackeray and BJP playing their political drama as state as well as Lokh Sabha election are coming…why BJP agreed TRS same intention on vote bank. BJP always play communal cards. It will affect our secularism.
Mr. Deshpande, why an educated person think like politicians…shame on you. What you want Do you want to divide India based on caste religion language….what else..
If Marathi people behave like this when other states people comes to Mumbai. Why don’t you think what will happen if Marathi people travel to other states
If Marathi people protesting for rights, same kind of sounds will come from 28 states of India based on their languages and castes etc.
Raj Thackeray, BJP and Bal Thackeray are working same way of some Kashmiri organizations. Both are extremist organizations.
Tell me don’t Marathi people work other states
Central Govt. doesn’t have courage and strength to take decision on internal affaires.
Solution Suggested by APJ Abdul Kalam renowned former president of India but this suggestion has been rejected by BJP and CPM.
Ban all regional parties registered based on caste region etc.
Maximum 4 parties in central politics.
Don’t allow individuals to register their parties.
Parties should have stringent conditions to contest in elections.

Think to clear our political system

12: Wake up Indians..

whether you are within India or outside...Why dont we use our brains at least once before we would be split again into small provinces and ruled by local thugs...whatever designation you may want to give them..we were ruled by different rulers for centuries using the same strategy of "divide & rule" ...

We are known for our skills in IT around the world...most of us check the web bofore breakfast in the morning..Let us use the same media to spread the message to one another that "let us not allow any selfish un-ethical immoral (you can add more qualifications if you wish...) so called leaders to split us once again...spare the country...spare the basic social fabric of our great nation....the multi cultural social structure of India intact for the sake of our future generations..."

I have one simple solution for retaining our nation's social fabric... encourage inter-cast marriages...inter-religion marriages within the country...let the husband & wife retain their own surnames and follow their own culture & festivals... but allow the children out of these wed-locks to decide whichever culture .. whichever religious believes they wish to follow.. Trust me.. they would never have the kind of hatred feelings visible among our conventional population of today.. And no bloody leader would be able to brain wash those new generations by using regional or some other useless emotional issues... We can then dream of building an India which would be a truly global power... Think Think Think.... Stop blaming politicians... IGNORE them... Use your brain to decide and make a difference... We can Do it...

13: Raj Thackeray should be prosecuted for anti-national activities. If all Indians behaved like Raj Thackeray, there will be no free & democratic India and the first state to suffer will be Maharashtra. Raj Thackeray should also note, that there are many Maharashtrians all over India, though in smaller numbers they could be hurt in the backlash. Further, Raj Thackeray should keep in mind that Mumbai would not be what Mumbai is today without the cosmopolitan nature of the Mumbai society. Mumbai gets its flavour from the multitude of people from North & South of India which inhabit the place. It is time, the people of India united in one voice to prevent further damage to the Indian nation by the hedonist Mr. Raj Thackeray.

16: I would like to give answer of despandey.
The first question your name is deshpandey and you are talking to send back the deshwashi.
Change you name first other wise your children will laugh on you.
Bihari's and Bahiya are making mumbai dirty and what you people are doing i dont know where are you working but i am sure your boss is defenately from north.
I am asking all marathi people tell me in mumbai who told to come and do budiness here from other states, aho said come and open your factory here,who said come open import export companies,
You people are just in a sentiment of few politician who are just baking there chappatis between two 3 states of a fire.
Noy you people are thinking bihari and Up people will be back then we will get job or our city will be clean, so you people in a wrong direction nothing will happen the only one thing happen if marathhi people will be out due to any reason either study or vaccation job marriage, that day you people cum to know what you had done.
Because we are Indians and we will be Indians always that day is not so far one Gandhi will again come and save India.
As far as Raj concern i am telling you one day you people will defenately realise due to a political person we did very wrong, think about it not as marathi rather than an Indian.
Raj is not a sant and sadhu he is a politician first now he is here tomorrow he will be there but we will be always here as Indian because if he really think and worried about India so he should join hi Uncles party because he wanted to give competition to his uncle and shown them see with me so many people who are ready to kill any one and sucide also, no dear frien this is a politics which is crystal clear and clean.
so go and convince you daughter and son and other family memebers make there carrier by theier own hand don't tell them those thing which effect them to do a bad thing.

17: I guess this is root cause of this problem. but no one looking on it.
subject Railway Recruitment Board aspirants are Brutally Beaten Up
from sandesh pathare to Somvanshiya Kshatriya Pathare
sent October 28, 2008 8 16 PM
The Actual Truth
Since Independence India's States were formed on the Basis of the Local Languages. Logical.
Since 1976, The employment criteria of the Central Recruitment Board was divided into zones as per the General People of India. This division was based on the Local Language of the States.
Zone-A Bihar, Haryana, HP, MP, Rajasthan, UP, Andaman, Delhi formed the Hindi Speaking Zone.
Zone-B Maharashtra, Gujarat, Punjab & Chandigad, the Non Hindi Speaking Zone.
Zone-C Southern India States like Kerala, Karnataka, etc. & North Eastern States like Assam, Mizoram, Bengal etc.

The Central Employment Rule said that 'All Exams for Employments in the respective Zones shall be Held in the Respective States Only.' So that the Local People may get the Jobs in their Home Town. Very Logical. For 30 Years everything was going Fine.

But since 1987, there was a Minor Change in the Rule 9 Part 9.2.2, for Zone -B Jobs. And this was made a Rule since 1988. This change was that 'As an optional Language of employement, People of Zone-A can apply for Jobs in Zone-B.' This opened up doors of Employement for All Zone-A aspirants in Zone-B areas.

But with this Clause there was a Sub-Clause, stating ' The Notice of Jobs in Zone-B areas for Zone-A aspirants, May be given in Zone-A Areas only.' Because of this, Recruitment Notices for Jobs in Maharashtra, etc. are Displayed Only in states like UP, Bihar, Rajasthan, etc. But these Notices are Seldom displayed in Newspapers of Maharashtra, etc.
So this time, for the 3000 Railway Posts in Maharashtra, 12000 Aspirants came from Zone-A areas.

The Result of this is that, the Un-employed of Maharashtra is Remaining Un-employed. This will surely lead to Suicides in Due Course.
Many Parties over these years Requested the Central Recruitment Board to Cancel this Clause. But this was Not done. The Result of this is, the Large Scale Beating Up and Rioting Today. This violent means is Not Correct. But has there been any choice Left toda

18: To isolate and minimise these Senas, Siv Sena and MNS, the present State Of Maharstra has to be forcibly divided into three States, vis, Bombay, Maharastra and Vidarba, as per the vision of the first States Re Organisational Commission of Nehru Era. Bombay always belonged to the Kohlis who are the natives of the seven islands of Bombay, and never the mm Marathas, who belong more in Satari and should have their Capital there. Bombay with all India Investments and Skills can then prosper and look to be the first City not only in India but one that would be admired by the global and shrinking world. Then the Marathis can have a free for all in their parochial states of Maharasthra and Vidarba, where in time they will destroy themselves. Ha Ha.
Jai Bombay, Jai India.

22: All Mr Verma needs to be a good boy is a simple smack down on his butts. 2 things - MNS is a non-terrorist org., 2nd thing - it cannot be acknowledged internationally. The limits of MNS are within Maharashtra, and anything happening outside Maharashtra is for the Marathis, by the Marathis. It is NOT bad.

Why should US be concerned of MNS? US just cannot interfere with the MNS affairs. Verma needs a little dose to behave well. He sounds professional but still im sure he's worth a dose.

Jai Maharashtra

23: First of all Verma of so called Humane Mumbai is a sick person. He doesnot know a bit of what is happening in Mumbai coz he is sitting in US..
secondly his demand to put MNS and Raj Thackray on terrorist list is a stupid idea,as US has nothing to do with internal problems of Mumbai and Maharashtra and India also for that matter.
Rahul Raj was a lunatic person. If he was pointing at Verma, was he going to greet him and say 'welcome and kill me? '
Case of Dharam Dev was a clear case of his own mistake of crossing railtrack( also a Bhaiya to do it).
Pwankumar was also the case of 4th seat figt in local railways and not on the laguage basis.
Lallu, Paswan and nitish are the bron bhaiyas so they have to act like that ..
Raj Thackray has done a very RIGHT thing to drive away the UPites and Biharis from Mumbai to clean up the city which has become so shabby and dirty becoz of them.
We are INdian forst, law is same and final for everyone, such quotes are good only for the dialogues, but when it comes to the question of your existance, you will forget such quotes.
If verma is boosting of IIT and IAS and US jobs , he doesnot know the facts about the contributions of Maharashtrians in these fields also..He shoudl first know the facts and figures and then talk..
If you are worried about HUmane Mumbai, where were you when a bomb seris took place in in local trains, lots of thing happening in Delhi, Malegaon and other Indian places...Raise the voice about those terrorist first Dont worry about Mumbai while sitting in US .
IN fact if Marathi Manoos stops coming to US, they will collapse in no time.
So better Verma minds his own day to day business and not such sick acts..

26: Yes, we all should support Raj Thackeray and take his initiative ahead by doing more...

We should teach our kids that if he is second in class, don't study harder... just beat up the student coming first and throw him out of the school
Parliament should have only Delhiites as it is located in Delhi
Prime-minister, president and all other leaders should only be from Delhi
No Hindi movie should be made in Bombay. Only Marathi.
At every state border, buses, trains, flights should be stopped and staff changed to local men
All Maharashtrians working abroad or in other states should be sent back as they are SNATCHING employment from Locals
Lord Shiv, Ganesha and Parvati should not be worshiped in our state as they belong to north (Himalayas)
Visits to Taj Mahal should be restricted to people from UP only
Relief for farmers in Maharashtra should not come from centre because that is the money collected as Tax from whole of India, so why should it be given to someone in Maharashtra?
Let's support Kashmiri Militants because they are right in killing and injuring innocent people for the benefit of their state and community...
Let's throw all MNCs out of Maharashtra, why should they earn from us? We will open our own Maharashtra Microsoft, MH Pepsi and MH Marutis of the world
Let's stop using cell phones, emails, TV, foreign Movies and dramas. James Bond should speak Marathi
We should be ready to die hungry or buy food at 10 times higher price but should not accept imports from other states
We should not allow any industry to be setup in Maharashtra because all machinery comes from outside
We should STOP using local trains... Trains are not manufactured by Marathi manoos and Railway Minister is a Bihari
Ensure that all our children are born, grow, live and die without ever stepping out of Maharasthra, and then they will become true Marathis (According to Raj Thakre)

32: First of all i would like to thank RAJ and MNS guys, only because of stupid guyz like these ,we (HYDERABAD & BANGALORE)have emerged into IT Giants because of our great infrastructure,hospitality towards outsiders, many new global ventures are turning up to us instead of their plans for mumbai which you will come to kno in a short period of time, I'm a techie from hyderabad ,i've persued my Masters from one of the esteemed instutions back in PUNE ,basically Marathi ppl are lovable and adorable ppl,they are very humble to outsiders, I've spent a quality time in maharastra. But its relly bad that these guys (RAJ and MNS) are filling the mumbaikers brains with hatred and loathing,

most of the MNS guys are "either uneducated or zombies with no brains i guess" and Raj is utilizing them for his wicked political benefits the same thing holds good for the politicians of UP and BIHAR, and i guess this issue is not gonna stop that easy some more blood will be spilling soon.
I shoot one straight question to RAJ if you are a real patriot of ur land ,then why don't you first try eradicating the Terrorism and the Under world Mafia ppl who are the cause for catastrophies and bloodshed in mumbai, this could boost your reputation which you wanted. i kno cowards like you cant do it as it could be life threatening for you .

How fare is this u send your kid to an International school but again u talk about nativity and other bullshit stuff.....

Now, its up to you Marathi ppl to make a wise decision and wipe the ppl like Raj out of ur lands.

Last but not least MUMBAI KISIKI BAAP KI NAHI as one of your famous police officer said.

34: How anyone get annoy with Mr Raj, In India Hindi Speaking
people were enjoying everything, without caring for other
Indians. Supplying military aid to Srilankan Govt to wipe out the Tamils living there. If anyone think Raj is wrong
how come Govt of India can help Sinhalese Govt with military aid,and support GENOCIDE against Tamils in that Country? Because no Hindi speaking Persons are there?
How can our Govt support Srilankan Govt to wipe out Tamils,
Are we Indian Tamils are not paying any Tax? Is not OUR OWN MONEY USED TO KILL OUR OWN TAMILS, in Srilanka?

Today MNS going against North, very soon others Indian states too join him. WAIT & SEE.

I am you will also agree if we pay heed to such politicians who are not even good enough for themselves how can they do any thing good to others.

After going through the article, I also read the comments and found that Mentally sick Mr. Raj Thakre is comfortably successful in his strategy of creating a great divide among us INDIAN. Instead of fighting this evil by joining hands together, we are playing on his tunes.....that's the success of Mr. Raj Thakre. He is doing his politics, coz he knows he's got nothing to prove before MARATHI PEOPLE. Marathi people are as intelligent as Biharis, and vice versa.We are Indian, so we are one. What I want to convey is that just THRASH THE SPIRIT OF Mr. Raj Thakre and we should play our own part in CREATING an NEW & MODERN INMDIA. Vande Mataram !

38: abbey Raju ya kaju , First of all just try to know some facts, understand that the Marathi Community is far more civilised than your so called Bhaiyya Community. Regarding Education lot of IT people aswell as Management people are Marastrian because of their talent and good control over English langauge. You people you even don't know to speak proper English if they know it has typical Bhaiyya accent in that. Yes the Bhaiyyas are hardworking at selling milk, vegetables ,running unpermitted autorikshaws, sharing each others wife at bed that the reason why the population is so high. Speak for the Unity of Country and whatever I have written above is only for people like you and not for the very less civilised Bhaiyya community

39: I have done my Higher studies in Pune and I want to share my experience with all of you. maharshtrian have no guts to face any Government exam. they want job at there home only.Even any one from my college no about the IIts and top government colleges.they have no guts to compete with north indians in exams. look at any exam results most of the north indian qualifies it because they deserve that they have ahabbitof doing hard work. I have seen guys from my town who have qualified IAS and IIT exams, They where really Intelligent and hardworker.people from Bihar And UP are hard working so they get all the jobs.Though political climate is not good in these region. that's why proper development is not there. But these Maharashtrian are neither hardworking nor intelligent. the inferiority complex followed by the poor political climate in north and added by criminal minded people like Raj Thackrey they have started agitation Against North Indians. I just want to convey my Marathi brothers, do n,t think they are the superior than North Indians All have contributed equally in the development of the country.If you people want a change then bring change in your thinking fight in competitive exam and get good government jobs.And think India as one u can also go an settle in North India.Think of One country not your Identity. If India is there then we all Marathi , Bihari Aur Upians are there without the concept of a single nation we will loose our identity of indian.

1. How do u conclude that Govt jobs are being taken away by biharis and UP people. That way all the IAS and similar rank of people from Bihar and UP origin would also have got the jobs in the same way. Its not true.
2. How Biharis and UP people are spoiling the soft culture of Mumbai. By any chance, any one knows who all are from Mumbai and not from nearing places like Nasik, Koljapure etc living in Mumbai. In this case, they should also be treated the same way.
3. If you agree on your own points, then you should have the guts to call all the Mumbaiits from outside.
4. Any leader whether Raj or Lalu or Nitish should not be spared if they talk of separatism.

All Villages dont have electricity.Education and healthcare is in a big mess. Half of the country goes to bed with an empty stomach.
Trust me Mumbai is not maharashtra alone , there are other parts which need immediate attention. No state whatsoever is doing well on the above stated points.Blame game has gone on and on. Staying in metro and going to malls is not how a nomal india lives.
How many of the ppl have visited the rural hospitals.And ppl still have time to fight on these issues.Im blaming both sides.
This is good as a blod as it will get more visits,media will highlight this as it will increase their TRP. Political parties will win their elections and the same will continue.
Trust me nothing is going to change.

55: I do not approve of what Raj is doing, but I feel pity on fellow NRIs who has invited a foreign country like USA to interfere in India's inhouse matter.

This way they have lost their rights to be an Indian and their Indian citizenship should immediately be forfeited.

As for Mr Thackrey's acts, my neutral (I was born in UP and I am in Rajasthan for 22 years) openion is that, on the surface, it looks like his acts should be condemned but at the same time we also have to look into that why he has got millions of people support then?

Possibly the problem is to be looked on the basis of people's feelings on both sides and by considering the situation across other states in India as well

Its true that firstly we all are Indians and then a citizen of a state, but, at the same time, India is a country which was formed by merging states and its not easy to take out the maatee putra feeling from the heart and souls of the people just by the fact that these states are bound under certain law to be a part of India

Its true that a north Indian doesnt enjoy a very good time in South and vice versa is also true

I have seen UP/Bihar students treating south Indian students as inferior in their heart and brain in North India college hostels

So, the difference here is that Mr Thakrey says it loud (which ofcourse is not good, coz it propogates the feeling of division more then anything else) while other just dont say it

For this feelings conflict, what is needed is a national platform with leaders from all political parties and states including Mr Thakrey, Bihar leaders, UP Leaders, South India leaders and Maharashtra leaders, where things can be discussed at length and resolution may be passed on a code of conduct, rather then going to a 3rd country like USA and start asking them to interfere in this internal matter to India

truth be told the whole system is corrupt,and if we look for the guilty we only need to look into a mirror....well this may sound a bit harsh ... but it is true ... because from wat news i gathered .. 80% of indians who passed engg. or who did some reasonable education dont vote...now jus look at the result ... people like lallu n raj n mamta n mayawati n many more of this kind come to politics ... for any decision they take in the name of national interest, the preferences are as follows....
1) how do i benefit from this?
2) how can this help me to stay in power?
3) wat benefits do my party have?

and many more...

Baltimore is not far away from Bengal in today's electronic world. We do understand what is happening in Bengal or Maharastra or Karnataka sitting right here. Finer points are simple, If Mamata comes to power she will allow Tata's to come again.
I definately beleive that Political climate and criminal situation in the state or city contributes to the decision of industrialists, in addition to logistics and infrastructure. Otherwise how once sleepy backward Andhra started attracting so many industreies in last one dacade?

India needs Industrial growth and Ofocurse Big industries stamp upon the rights of poor people, which shall be resisted but country will be better off without the likes of Mamata and Lalus and Paswans anyway.

I don't understand that how can a person even think of disintegrating India - a sovereign state based on regional / lingual lines. India has and will always remain one. We have learned over time the fact - Unity in Diversity and will never forget the same under influence of a ideologly / percerption of an individual / group.

Indian constitution gives its citizens right to express their thoughts but such perceived / hatred instigating ideology must be curbed before it turns in a menace.

Very unfortunate to hear this. Indians from north and south living in Mumbai are not migrants. They are Indians.

Mumbai, the financial capital of India should be declared a Union Territory if the state government cannot control such acts.

No god can change the indian mentality of blind beliefs and faiths in all such political/religious activities. So putting a ban and labelling such groups as terrorist would atleast make people aware of good and bad.

indians should come out of religious and political bidings, giving less importance to god/religion/political than human beings.

If at all they really have any serious interest in remotely solving problems internal to India, they can refer to far neutral human rights watch organisations such as Amnesty International, which does publish well-document atrocities all over the globe.

And for India's sake, GLY Mendon and the like: Please don't mix up this violence issue with investment issues by Tata, etc in Indian states. They are VERY MUCH DIFFERENT. It is economically good for the different states to receive investment, but not at ANY cost. I was never a supporter of Mamata, but why would the Tata's stick for a piece of very fertile agricultural land to set up a car manufacturing plant? And if the choice of land changed, why would it move the whole equation to another state? Do you ever read the and analyse finer details from far-away Baltimore? If not, at least look around where you live and try to notice how protective the USA (or any other developed country) is about their own agriculture. Which side would you shout if the Tatas wanted some hectares of fertile corn-producing agricultural land in Baltimore. Here's a good analysis about the Tata problem:

Anyway, this is not the subject of the current news topic. So please don't mix up all in a mess.

75: I am 100% agreed with views of everyone. Raj is a guy who is always been in news for wrong reasons. He is supposed to be biggest well wishers of marathi people but I think he destroying the culture of mumbai and maharashtra.I was there for almost 8 years and I have lots of marathi as my friends they are all very nice and friendly.I think the people who don't have calibure and who are idle and job less are supporters of Raj.

76: Mr. Verma,

Yes, Raj Thackray and Congress who unleashed him for political gain should be condemned outrightly and he shall be put behind bars along with Vilas Rao Deshmukh. In general Mahrastrians are very welcoming and never create any problems. I lived in Bombay for 15 years and it was the best life I can say.

However, there is a lesson to be learnt for people from Bihar and Up and also West Bengal. They elect people like Lalu and Paswan and Mulayama and Mamata Bannerjee who do not have any progressive outlook. They prevent any companies to come to thier state and put thier tent and hence there are no job opportunieties at all in thier own states.

It is the time for UP, Bihar and Bengal to look forward and banish these stupid politicians and bring some level minded leaders who has peoples welfare in thier heart.

B'cos of heavy crime or plotical interference, nobody is putting up theier industries in these states, whereas Maharastra and many other south Indian states welcome Industries and mostly peaceful.

But anyway, it is not a justification for attack on poor people. Bihar and UP shall take cue from these incident and positively change thier political actions and make thier state condusive for industreis.

Infact, most of the industrialists are from North but they put up shops in Maharastra or south, Why? a simple question and simple answer, every industrilist knows.

Regards

77: We are Indians and our fates are tied together. With this trouble making, imagine what can happen. Bollywood will probably move to Hyderabad or Kolkata. IF the next target is
the Gujrati and Marwari communities, the financial centre
will move elsewhere. Thanks to the Rajs and Mamatas of
India, we will soon regress back to the days of darkness.

79: I agree with what expats say.If Raj Thackeray is heading a terror organization Raj Thackeray himself is a terrorist.Why cant our government do anything.All crap votes play.Ministers play and the innocent people die.Had I been the President I would have paraded Raj Thackeray nude with black polish on his face and labelled terrorist and would have got him hung in front of public with live telecast so that Raj Thackeray will think million times to take a birth again. I really respect for Bal Thackeray Sahib and Udhay Thackeray.I am sure that shiv sena will sort Raj Thackeray out.

81: Going to US to ask help against a fellow indian is outright stupid and anti national. You can ask Indian PM to ban MNS. That is fine. But what does US govt has to do with what Raj is doing.

The news also fails to mention that the Bihar youth was killed in an accident on the railway tracks and had nothing to do with MNS. This fact is established using CCTV footage. So why this hue and cry.
