Biharis unwanted all over India: Bal Thackeray

Font Size

Agencies

Posted: Mar 05, 2008 at 1512 hrs IST

Pune, March 5: In an apparent bid to recapture his party's Marathi sons plank being hijacked by MNS leader Raj Thackeray, Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray on Wednesday targeted Biharis saying they were an "unwanted lot" in all parts of the country.

"They are not wanted in Southern India, Assam and also Punjab and Chandigarh. The Biharis have antagonised local population wherever they had settled. The UP-Bihari MPs have shown their ingratitude towards Mumbai and Maharashtra with an anti-Marathi tirade in Parliament," Thackeray said in an editorial in party mouthpiece Samana.

The "Bihari" leaders, accusing people of Mumbai of harbouring anti-national sentiments are trying to stir again the fire of anti-north Indian feelings in Maharashtra and should realise that the exercise would only put their brethren in Maharashtra at the receiving end, Thackeray said in a veiled suggestion of a backlash.

MPs from Bihar and UP had raised the issue of anti- north Indian stand of MNS, that led to wide spread violence in Maharashtra.

The arrest of Raj Thackeray following his anti-north Indian sentiments last month had put the Shiv Sena in a difficult spot as the breakaway faction led by the nephew of the Sena chief appeared to be drawing political mileage in the state at the cost of the parent party.

Sena executive President Uddhav Thackeray recently asserted that it was only his party that was wedded to the cause of Marathis and nobody else.

Referring to Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, whom he had earlier dared to perform Chhatpooja in Mumbai, the Sena leader in his editorial, said those who have turned Bihar into a hell should not try to teach nationalism to Mumbai and Maharashtra.

Thackeray's comments came even as the Maharashtra police served a show cause notice to Raj Thackeray asking him to explain as to why the gag order enforced on him following the party's anti-north Indian agitation should not be extended.

The MNS leader was in Pune when the notice was served at his Mumbai residence on Tuesday.

thackeray -mumbai-bihari by anonymus on 05 Mar 2008

thackeray is xenophobic to extreme and irrational to hilt.he vents his ire at his poor hungry countrymen who are afflicted with penury and disgrace.so great of him to show his power on such meek people who are trying to make their ends meet.being such a self proclaimed lion why does not he attack politicians of status like laloo ,rajnath ,nitish,mulayam singh,amar singh to whom he definetely pales in comparison.decimating hungry poor people in your den is easy enough.try it somewhere else.he will definitely feel for his crotch.

Thackreys by Dinesh on 05 Mar 2008

I agree with mr. PP Talwar. The crooked Thackrey clan is really helping Biharis and UPians. It is high time people of Bihar and Up must assett themsleves to ask their representatives to get industry and other amenities to enable them to get jobs locally. Why a bihari needs to travel to Mumbai for JOB? all self respecting people of Bihar must come together on this issue.

Bal Thackary dividing the country on region, community nd case bsais by P.P. TALWAR on 05 Mar 2008

Bal Thckary being too old and sick is suffering from mania of promoting regionalism and castesim in Maharashtra. By pioneering the casue of Marathi speaking Maharashtrians, he is sowing the seeds of hatred, enemity and ill-will amongst communities which may boomrang on Bal Thackary himself. India being a secular soverign Republic, its constitution provides freedom for all Indians, irrespective of ethnic, caste and creed to settle anywhere in India, seeking livelihood. By targetting innocent north Indians, forcing them to flee for safety, leaving behind their herths and homes in Mumbai and other parts of Maharashtra, Bal Thackray is doing great disservice to Marahti and the Masharashtrians who may be the ultimate losers, if this dngerous trend of dividing the country on ethnic, community and region basis as preached by him continues.

Khara Marathi Kaun? by Khara Marathi on 05 Mar 2008

Destroy Corrupt Politicians like Thackeray and don't vote them, Marathi Manus ... Manus aahe mag Marathi, Thackeray is a Corrupt politician and had received money from Congress(I) Sunil Dutt for releasing Sanjay Dutt even when he was carrying AK47s and Hand grenades. No wonder British ruled India for over 200 years, just because of Assholes like Thackeray!

Truth by Anil Sisodia on 05 Mar 2008

Bal Thackeray is speaking truth! Truth is always bitter!

Divided we fall, united we stand by jati hoon on 05 Mar 2008

Raj Thackeray and co; has forgotten what happened when Mahatama Gandhi was shot dead by a Maharashtran, no Maharashtran was welcomed in other parts of india,"he who forget the past, is condemned for future." Wake up you hate mongers and help the country and its down trodden people for better world.We are all childreen in this school of universe, learning to co-exist.Put your brain to improve country lot not destroy it. "Hate leads to Hate." Learn India's HISTORY, stop dividing it, Shivaji, fought all his life to unite it.Read his army who's who and it will open your jaundice eyes.

Thackeray goons by sw on 05 Mar 2008

Well.. I think buffons like this Thackeray are not wanted in India and should be kicked into oblivion as soon as possible.

USELESS AND CORRUPT POLITICIANS by INIDAN PATRIOT on 05 Mar 2008

AT LEAST NOW PEOPLES EYES ARE BEING OPENED. THESE CORRUPT POLITICIANS ARE TO BE BLAMED FOR THE BACKWARDNESS FOR THE STATE. THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT IS ALSO HAVING A HAND BECAUSE THEY DONT DISCIPLINE PEOPLE LIKE LALOOOO YADAV.HE IS WALKING AROUND WITH HIS WHITE DOHTI AND ADMIRED BY THE CENTER. SO SOME ONE CAN SPEAK A SOLUTION TO THESE UNDERDEVELOPED STATES AND ITS PARTIES.

Delete UP and Bihar by Ali on 05 Mar 2008

UP and Bihar are the lawless and backward states in India due to their leaders. These states are parasites living on other state. Why are we having these states in India?

Agree by Bipin on 05 Mar 2008

Yes, leaders like Lallu are responsible for the condition of these states.

Maharashtrian parochialism by oldindian on 05 Mar 2008

What was said of Germans by Goethe holds good for biharis too.. "Germans as individuals are such nice people, but as a community they have so much to be despised about them". But that does not in any way legitimise whatever the thackeray clan has been mumbling all along. These guys are true cancer and represent way of thinking that is so easy to copy by other regional leaders - ofcourse it is a close contetst with DMK and they can proudly claim Patent rights to what indian secularists while talking about DMK refer to as "Regionalism" and which is nothing but fascism. But overall this is a obnoxious stuff perpetrated by the family. But understandably because of lousy governance by congress which makes maharashtra a not so proud no. 1 in farmer suicides, will make mahrashtrians think of thackeray brand of politics as an alternative to congress. And BJP is nothing but second fiddle to Sena in maharashtra. As some american said, "If you dont believe in god, take a look at india and you will believe that god somehow exists". Only god, if he exists to paraphrase agnostic, can save india if it continues to exist

what Hinduism? by Jake on 05 Mar 2008

Break has already begun, the Khan's have already signed against gag order on Raj Thackrey.It benefits those who want to break up. It will have major repurcussions.

laloo's support for sonia is thorn for a lot of people by Jake on 05 Mar 2008

bihar's support for lallo and lallo's support for sonia is really big thorn in neck for lot of people. Sometimes it makes sense why these guys support Sonia when their state is so undeveloped. But that is with people who stay in bihar and don't leave. those who leave are not the same kind.

WAKE UP CALL FOR BIHAR! by NANDU on 05 Mar 2008

Bihar is a rogue state. Biharis are hated in Punjab, Assam and NewDelhi. What BAL THACKERAY has said is absolutely right. Infact people from above mentioned states are congratulating Thackeray for raising this issue.

BAl Thakre on Biharis by SAngram Patil on 05 Mar 2008

These are very immature comments. These only reflect last ditch attempt by Mr Bal Thakre to influence Marathis and back his dear son, as against his nephew. In fact, both fractions are trying to influence the public to be in mainstream politics, as they do not have anything else to make any good public impression.

OUR 'GREAT BHARAT' by PATEL M. D. on 05 Mar 2008

MUMBAI IS MOSTLY DOMINATED BY "GUJRATHIS", MUMBAI'S BUSINESS LANGUAGE IS GUJRATHI. THEN WHERE IS "MARATHI"? ON SIGNBOARDS ONLY? RESPECT OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM 'JANA MAN..." AND HONOUR ALL DIFFERENT COLOUR OF PEOPLE AND THEIR LANGUAGES. THIS IS OUR 'GREAT BHARAT'.

Why BJP by Vikas Sethi on 05 Mar 2008

All these years Bal was talking of Hindutva. Now suddenly he realised the Marathi Manoos. He should clarify has he given up on Hindutva and Hindus. If yes, he should be kicked in the Butt for playing with Hindu sentiments. If no, then are Biharis and UPites not Hindus??? Please clarify Bal. (Incidently Bal in marathi means a Child).Why is BJP silent on this? They also talk of Hindutva

Sena's lAnti North Indian viwe by U N Han on 05 Mar 2008

If Sena's regional tendency is not nipped in the bud, a Kashmir like situation would develop in Mumbai.

Sena's latesr salve by Unknown on 05 Mar 2008

Inept politicians survive on parochial advocacy . Bifurcation of Gujarat and Maharashtra was achieved through violent method. Anti-South Indian policy was adopted on flimsy ground.Business Houses helped them by huge personal donation so as to retain cheap labour force without trouble. Now the latest Anti North Indian salvo, with an eye for survival. Why there is no action from these self styled politicians for economic development of all regions so as to stop migration. Shiv Saniks are recruited from uneducated and lazy youths, who depend on monetary benefit from Sena Pamukh, who in turn extort funds from Businessmen.

Unwanted Biharis by Dillep on 05 Mar 2008

Biharis have become unwanted in most part of India thanks to Mr.lalu Prasad and his cronies who turned Bihar into an uncivilised state.They are still living in the stone age culture and barbaric in behaviour which is very obivious in the recent incidents like lynching people on the streets .Now Lalu is trying to change his image in his new found avatar as Railway Minister and he is believing that people started respecting him .People still consider him as a joker and they enjoy his Bihari antics more than his sense of humour.He is a perfect partner to Sonia as both them thrive on oppertunism.

Biharis are unwanted all over the world!! by Navin on 05 Mar 2008

Thackeray is slightly wrong.In fact Biharis are an unwanted lot all over the world-not just India.So much so,people like Lalu are hated even by other Biharis-ask Nitish Kumar

Banish Shivsena , MNS and the like from public life by Satindar Sangre on 05 Mar 2008

It is high time to make suitable changes in constitution that could enable banishing from public life parites like Shivsena and MNS along with their leaders. They have made Maharashtra and Mumbai unsuitable for location of any new indusrial and financial investments.
