Each state should have one RajBy: Jatin | Wednesday , 22 Oct '08 19:07:35 PM Reply | Forward Uncontrolled migration leads to deterioration of work culture, lowering of salary scale and social unrest. Local people find it hard to get jobs as immigrants are ready to do the job in much less salary and benefits. Builders and industrialists in Mumbai prefer labors from Bihar and UP as they are easy to exploit without giving minimum wages, basic benefits etc. As a result we see lots of people involved in many construction works sleeping on the roads, crime rate is going high as these people loose their jobs (after completion of the project) and do not prefer to go back to their places; spread of slums. Raj should also concentrate those builders and industrialists who employ cheap labors from outer states and do not give them minimum salary and leave them to sleep on the roads. Besides the cultural aspect, this matter needs to be addressed. I support Raj in this issue.

Every hell should have one Raj tooBy: henry | Thursday , 23 Oct '08 0:05:46 AM Reply | Forward Mr Jatin you are really an idiot as it appears you do not know Tingoo Raj Thuggeray at all. Raj has teamed up with Joshi's son and has bought the graveyard (Mill) of several marathi manoos workplace called Kohinoor Mill with all the hafta his goons collect every week from poor roadside vendors. So he is a builder employing migrant labour even though I do not know how an ordinary cartoonist that he is can amass such wealth. Tingoo was also involved in the murder case of an old man Ramesh Kini who was found murdered in a Pune theathre. Inspite of all this I am surprised at the kind of adulation he receives from some misguided marathi manoos. Did you read todays paper and see how the Mumbai mirror editor has denounced RT and graphically described how his swift car was damaged ? If you too had received a stone on your head while you were returning from work (like that poor marathi man in nashik) you would be singing a different tune. How come Tingoo also did not object to the good looking UP

Stats of Marathis in MumbaiBy: shank | Thursday , 23 Oct '08 12:36:51 PM Reply | Forward For your kind information the population of marathis in mumbai is 42%.By the way Raj is not only fighting for marathis in Mumbai but all the marathis in Maharashtra. So don't talk about only Mumbai. Also the leaders of the states like Bihar and UP should develope their own state instead of blaming Raj. They don't have capability to deveolpe and made their state a dirt where nobody interested to stay including the local people, that is why all the dirt is shifiting to Maharashtra

Media falling preyBy: Hersh | Wednesday , 22 Oct '08 18:30:15 PM Reply | Forward Media by providing such extensive coverage to such deluded politicians as Raj Thackerey is unintentionally grooming them. It serves their dubious purpose to attract headlines. Purposeful media should not fall prey to such scheming. It's a fine line. Informing public requires wise selection not just putting anything out their for feeding misplaced needs of readers. It's interesting to read but is detrimental to the larger public cause.

GOONDA RAJBy: Bhushan | Thursday , 23 Oct '08 11:18:41 AM Reply | Forward I love this Marathi Culture.- Somebody is arrested, show your discontent by destroying public, Private property.-Use force and arson to intimidate others and hide our own inability to succeed.-Protect your cause no matter what. Some petty lives will be lost who cares- Dont have work or unwilling to work, need some outlet to release this energy, create a mob spread riots.I wonder who claims this culture to be great. Shame on us.

This is a black day for our judicial systems and democracyBy: Sunita Shastry | Wednesday , 22 Oct '08 18:25:03 PM Reply | Forward Our existing police and judicial systems can't punish terrorists like Thackerays and they will get away after killing innocents. We know it since beginning that courts will leave him unpunished. Police and Courts are only for common, decent and poor people. 3 innocent north indians has been killed in Kalyan by MNS and Shiv Sena. Witnesses has been threatened not to come to the courts else other north indians will be eliminated similarly.Maharashtra needs operation blue star like operation to cleanse the marathi terrorists.

Pls report important issues!!By: Vinodh | Wednesday , 22 Oct '08 18:03:38 PM Reply | Forward I just want to ask these media ...why are U so concerned about RAJ when the last news I heard about a blast in Impal was yesterday night wherein 20 people have died...is it not important to talk about those innocent lives!!! than wasting your time on when did Raj got his bail and how long..Crazy media..I think U guys are more bothered about making hype rather than reporting the important things. U guys should be punished for such selective journalism!!! Comeon Indians wake up...these media guys will make money whatever happen in the country...Am I right?

protestBy: girish kulle | Wednesday , 22 Oct '08 17:54:46 PM Reply | Forward after reading comments on this news conclusion drawn by majority people is that thackrey is terrorist,mumbai should be separated,MNS should be banned no sane person will ask these people who abu azmi is! is he nationalist for protecting aiding bomb blast accused. is lalu yadav nationalist asking to lift ban on SIMI

nusanceBy: yes | Wednesday , 22 Oct '08 17:52:27 PM Reply | Forward Voilance can not be justified but the unemployment and arrogance of migrants are some questions that needs to be addressed and are not addressed by current Maharshtra govt.If somebudy has experienced the nusance and indiscipline of students from UP/Bihar they would support agenda of Mr Raj Thakare but the voilent me=thod may not be supported

Corruption galore in the CountryBy: Mh. Bashir | Wednesday , 22 Oct '08 17:45:19 PM Reply | Forward This is what our Judiciaryn aii level is made of to nhelp,aid and abate murderrers in the Country.The Kalyan Sessions Court is and was fully aware of thr one of the candidates who was from Bihar had died as a result murderous assault by the goons of Raj who had exhorted his goons to forcibly keep non Maharshtrian candidates from appearing for Rly Exams.Sessions who are bound by the Judments of the SC and High Courts not to be liberal in granting any bail witout hearing thr Complainnants deliberaty ignored the by which he was bond an d hurriedly garanted the bail to Thakerey >Why the High Cort or the SC not exercise its inherant powers to set right the illegal and improper orders of the Sessions Court Judge and enquire into his deliberate mis and illegal conduct.as neither the Govt nor the helping Police will do anything in the matter for handfull of gold from the murderer

PARTIAL TREATMENTBy: M S RAJAN | Wednesday , 22 Oct '08 17:44:28 PM Reply | Forward The media and the political attention the Raj Thackerey incident received is tremendous and over-whelming. The incident occured in Mumbai involving North Indians particularly Biharis. There was immediate reaction from the political bigwigs at the Centre like Lalu Prasad Yadav and swift action was taken by the State Government in arresting Raj Thackerey.However, the fact of the matter is there was much worst situation involving 100s of deaths in Orrisa involving Christians. But there was absolutely no reaction from not even from State level ministers. Its so tragic that there is no proper representation for christians at the Center.

Violent India By: Jaswinder Singh Gill | Wednesday , 22 Oct '08 17:37:42 PM Reply | Forward That is LAW of land , same country attained its Independence without violence if there was then whole Independence moment was stopped until people accepted to be non violent. Compare Indians who fought Britishers without being violent and what they wanted they attained. So what about us the Indians who live with rights and are violent and accept violence of our fellow Indians.One Life . There is one supreme power. What is point of violence.
