A Good issue, raised up in Wrong wayBy: Kamal | Thursday , 11 Sep '08 17:43:27 PM Reply | Forward Thanks to Bangali Mumbaikar for bringing the issue of Abu Azmi. I have doubted from the very beginning that there is something more political than this Hindi Issue. Well one thing for sure that Raj is well known to Indians as well to other part of world, thanks to Bachhan family. ONE SHOULD RESPECT THE LOCAL CULTURE, ONE LIVES IN, IS THE BEST WAY TO MINGLE INTO THE LOCAL SOCIETY (DOES NOT NECESSARY MEAN BY SPEAKING MARATHI). Every one in this country should try to speak Hindi as Hindi is the national language (Not because one belongs to Up or Northern state). Language should be the medium to unite the country not to separate the country. ALTHOUGH RAJ RAISED A GOOD POINT (IN WRONG WAY), BUT HE MUST BE STOPPED AFTER CHALLENGING THE MUMBAI POLICE COMMISSIONER TO COME ON THE STREET AFTER REMOVING POLICE UNIFORM, BADGE AND CHAIR.

Raj Thackeray accepts Big B's apologyBy: Ramesh Lahoti | Thursday , 11 Sep '08 17:10:26 PM Reply | Forward It is time that Vilasrao Deshmukh and R.R. Patil go back to their towns/villages and put on saris. They have no commonsense and authority to rule in this State. Thackerays are dictating terms and these two gentlemen have pulled their tails in and perhaps put a plaster on their mouth. What we are experiencing is hoodlums are dictating terms and the law and order and the judiciary is sleeping as the statues correctly depict on the walls the High Court. It would be better for the two gentlemen to go back to their towns and work as some prakmukhs because they are not leaders who can only be defined as scum because they are goondas to rule us.

Maha politicians responsible for the chaosBy: Manohar Satwe | Thursday , 11 Sep '08 16:39:05 PM Reply | Forward Maharashtra politicians (beonging to all parties including Congress ) are responsible for what the Thackreys ( Don't differentiate between Bal ,Uday ,Raj ..etc they are players of the same game) .It is their responsibility now to save Mumbai and Maharashtra from the clutches of the Thackrey - Fankenstein-Monster which they themselves created.Time is short Maha politicians and people must weed out these hoodlums and save Maharashtra from becoming a failed state where hoodlums dictate.The initiative must come from Maha politicians irrespective pf their party belongings.If not , very soon the industry and prosperity will start leaving Mumbai and Maharashtra

Raj Thackeray accepts Big B's apologyBy: D.N.Barola | Thursday , 11 Sep '08 16:26:26 PM Reply | Forward D.N.Barola feels that it was not appropriate for Raj to launch a vitriolic attack on Mumbai Joint Police Commissioner (Law and Order) K L Prasad for his alleged remarks that " Mumbai does not belong to any individual". This statement is correct. Mumbai belongs to all Indians irrespective caste or creed. Raj speaks a language which is authoritative. We are in a democracy. In a democracy the rule of law should prevail. If Raj has any grievance with Jaya Bachchan, he should seek the redressal of the grievance from the Court of Law. This is the gentleman's way of dealing with the things. But Raj has been using threatening language. If this attitude persists, how will the democracy function. Better sense should prevail on Raj and he should not take law on his own hands.

Jaya issueBy: Roshanlal | Thursday , 11 Sep '08 17:32:32 PM Reply | Forward The statement quoted is incorrect. the correct statement is "Mumbai does not belong to anybody's father" Do you expect Police Commissioner of city like Mumbai utter such language? When Mumbai is part of Maharashtra, it belongs only to Marathi people. Others are permitted to work there, but it doesn't belong to them. These outsiders should refrain from owning anything in Mumbai, unless they learn marathi, assimilate local culture. Then and only then they can be considered. Jaya doesn't belong an inch in Mumbai. Amitabh cab bring some forged papers and claim some belongings, but that is a different issue.Why Raj should go to court? Jaya can go to court, and you take her case.

what a pityBy: Hussain | Thursday , 11 Sep '08 16:26:07 PM Reply | Forward It could happen olnly in our Country India that Idiots leader play the politics of Division in name of Region and language.oherwise where else one draws flak for proclaiming that he or she will speak the national Language.I think Idiot Marthi leaders like this Raj should immediately needs to tamed by law of the country.We all more proud of being Indian rather than Marthhi or Bihari, or Tamil etc.Waht a Pity ?

What a counrtyBy: Roshanlal | Thursday , 11 Sep '08 17:46:17 PM Reply | Forward Mr Hussain, what laws are you talking about? Hindi is not a national language. It is only a language of communication out of 22 languages. If we are proud of Marathi, preserve our culture, India will be preserved. If our existense is in danger, who bothers about nationality? Nepal, Burma, Ceylon. Pakistan were also part of this country. And now they have separate identity. Nations form, nations break. No big deal. Russia broke in 1991, and 13 new countries formed. What about East Timur, Kosovo, Bosnia etc, etc. So dont talk about nationality. If you can manage nation people will stick with you, otherwise they can demand and fight for it. No big deal. Whatever of india is left, we will try to preserve it. In future we may give birth to other nation. But the new nation can have our culture. Your great country needs a person from foreign origin to rule. Then who is idiot?

Raj vs AmitabhBy: SANJIV | Thursday , 11 Sep '08 16:25:35 PM Reply | Forward Amar Singh must have got the confirmation that Raj Thackeray is a creation of Congress. Jaya Bachhan's utterances was an experiment to test the proposition.

derogatory languageBy: pegalwar | Thursday , 11 Sep '08 16:02:53 PM Reply | Forward raj to prasad : (in hindi) - saleh, kutthey, vardi uthaarke thum baahar aa jao. tumko dikhatha hum mumbaikar kon hotha he. is this language of a mumbaikar. we have been keeping mumbaikar in high esteem. it seems it is denigrating to a low ebb. unless this is nipped in the bud itself, things will be going worst if such challenges are thrown to police officers. what the home minister rr patil who jumps to crush the poor bar girls life, has to say about this. does he have a responsibility. raj should see munnabhai mbbs, to practice gandhigiri, rather than thakregiri.

mnsBy: kelkar | Thursday , 11 Sep '08 15:54:19 PM Reply | Forward marathi pride we are holding high. we will try to hold it high always. but in this case how come only mns is hurt by jaya's statements. why sena, bjp, rpi, congress and others not hurt. are they not marathis. the fact is mns is looking for any small issue to elevate to a high level and trying to gain something out of it. how we can call now a cosmopolitan city, if they behave like this destroying theatres attacking celebrities and other indian citizens. maratha strong man sharad pawar's time such type of activities were taking place. but they did not show the guts to contain it. it is high time that govt take strong action for such destructive tendencies. what pawar failed to contain, deshmukh show the grit to contain it. call military or crpf and put the trouble makers in jail for one month. they will learn one or two lessons then. mns wanted to take over from sena and hence they trying every crooked ways.bollywood should be shifted to other states.up, bihar,TN.

God Save MumbaiBy: Sanjay | Thursday , 11 Sep '08 15:43:23 PM Reply | Forward It is a pity that people like Raj are allowed to go scott free in Mumbai. How come the government is allowing him to give statements and control the release of movies.India is a democratic country and people thie Raj are dividing the country. He should be branded a traitor and hanged, he is more dangerous than a terrorist as he is just destroying the society for his own benefit without an ideology.He should be tried for Kini murder case. The person who ditched his uncle who brought him up can go to any extent.God save Maharastra from such antisocial elements. He is working on behest of Dawood and ISI.
