'Entire Hindu community should support the Sadhvi'

Bal thackeray

Pune, November 1: Coming out in support of Sadhvi Pragya Thakur and other Malegaon blasts accused, Shiv Sena Supremo Bal Thackeray lashed out at pro-Hindutva elements for "disowning" them and asked the legal community to come forward to defend the trio.

"The entire Hindu community should support the Sadhvi, retired Major Ramesh Upadhyay and Samir Kulkarni who are being framed by the ATS," Bal Thackeray said in his trademark fiery editorial in the Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana'.

Thackeray said he did not support any kind of terrorism that "weakens the country and we regret the loss of life in the Malegaon incident.

"But if the pseudo secularists in the country are supportive of Afzal Guru (Parliament attack convict), why should we not love and be proud of Sadhvi Pragya, Ramesh Upadhyay and Samir Kulkarni?"

"Every day Islamic terrorists are planting bombs to kill Hindus in India. The latest blasts in Assam too were engineered by Bangladeshi migrants. If a Sadhvi Pragya or a Ramesh Upadhyay or a Samir Kulkarni is born in the present milieu, they cannot be blamed," it added.

Alleging that the ATS machinery was being used at the behest of the Congress which is practicing politics of Muslim appeasement, it said, "the arrests of cultured and educated individuals in connection with the Malegaon blasts is an effort to crush Hindus to please Muslim fanatics in the country."

The editorial also lambasted pro-Hindutva organisations for what it called "disowning" the trio. "If Chhatrapati Shivaji and Veer Savarkar were alive today, they would suffer bouts of depression to see the passive tolerance of Islamic intimidation by Hindus," the Sena chief said.

The editorial ends with a poser. "If a Majid Memon puts on the black coat to defend brother of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim in a court of law, can we expect another Memon to stand up to argue for Sadhvi Pragya, Upadhyay and Kulkarni?"

Out of the muslim bomb blast victim families, Hindus should train suicide bombers to kill terrorist muslim families

Sadhvi and balThakrey by R.Balasundaram on 02 Nov 2008

If one dispassionately analyse the situation-past and present- in this country, one will come to the irresistible conclusion that Congress party, after the British, has acquired unbeatable expertise in 'Divide and rule' policy!To start with, India was divided by the British on religious lines; while Pakistan was termed Islamic state, India was not declared as Hindu state. Why? Congress wanted it that way.India was divided into linguistic states giving way to parochial tendencies! Congress, again, is responsible!All civilised nations have uniform civil law irrespective of their official religion. We as a nation are divided by civil law as well. Again the culprit is Congress!Which party propped up Bhindranwale for shot term gains? Which party propped up Shiva Sena earlier and now MNS? You are right -congress party is the culprit!We are divided on the basis of religion(castes and creed included),regions Like Maharashtra,AP,tamil etc) and law ( no civil law to unite us)

Terorrism by Water on 02 Nov 2008

Terorrism is growing day by day around the world. Unfortunately no country in the world is not interested to find out the root cause of this act. People who involved in this terorrism are who didn't get the justice. The leaders must go deep into the matter and find out the cause and find a solution of the problem. If the leadership is not going to deep in it the problem will never solve. Instead of opposing this terorrist act Mr Bal Thakray is supporting the Sadhvi is also a terorrist act, the state government should take action agisnt Bal thakray.

Endorsing Bal Thackeray view by Sumanyu on 02 Nov 2008

I fully agree and endorse what Balasaheb is saying. I had often said in the past that if the Hindus are continuously persecuted and harassed by the Congress then the day is not far when Hindu fanatics will be born and who then be unstoppable. All this is happening due to minority appeasing policies of the Congress. The anti Hindu media is also to be blamed for this.

We should identify the persons behind this conspiracy to fram Sadhvi by n.krishna on 02 Nov 2008

Bal Thackeray is the only Hindu leader left in India who is defending Hindus arrested on fake charges and being tried in the christian media. The rest is neutral Hindus like Vajpayee. CAT ruled that Sonia’s appointment of the politically linked christian A N Roy was illegal as he is the junior-most IPS among four DGPs in Maharashtra. Roy was appointed as the state police chief on February 29, 2008. Earlier in TN Sonia had forced Jayalalitha to appoint an incompetent christian Alexander as police chief. Police is linked to Malegaon blast as they did not remove the motorcycle even after locals have complained about it. Motorcycle had belonged to Sadhvi Pragya Thakur 4 years earlier, but was sold by her associate Manoj Sharma without telling her. This meant that the congress party had planned Malegaon blast some four years ago to coincide with the next parliament election. Manoj Sharma was killed a few months ago as his utility was over for the policemen who planned the Malegaon blast

Conspiracy by ruling party leaders by govi on 02 Nov 2008

At least , he has the courage to defend someone who is innocent. What's wrong. If USA is protecting their country and raiding Afghanistan they cannot be labeled terrorists. They are defending their people against these Islamic fanatics. Nothing is wrong. We cannot sit back and let them hurt us every 2 weeks, we have to rise and rebel against the government which in anti-hindusim. This is our country we cannot let some jehadis mullahs Mohd rule and kill our people. Bal Thakeray keep up your constructive work.We need to do ethnic cleansing drive bangladeshis/pakis out of the country. Another thing is some café owned by some sp muslim politician is serving beef whereas Mcdonalds and other food chains are respecting the religious sentiments of our people. Shouldn't that Azim café should be closed down.

Hindu culture by richard on 02 Nov 2008

Hey, what will happen to Hinduism if murderers, looters, raipist get away by showing the badge of Hindu? A nation can survive only when its citizens follow laws that protect everyone's basic rights. Hindus cannot be represented as a community or religion. Everyone has a right to be a Hindu as long as he does not violate human decency, murder and loot. By following the advice given by Thakeray, the Hindus will lose their respect.

Bitter Truth by AK on 02 Nov 2008

What Mr. Thackeray says has a bitter truth. None of say a word when people come out in support of Mohd. Afzal. I mean this man had the teremity of attacking the parliament

Thackery the old hag by Tapas on 02 Nov 2008

Will someone please tell this cartoon to shut up? Who has given him the right to drag Shivaji's name into his hate propaganda?Extending his own logic will He then come to defend Guru as he is defending the Sadhvi? Please ask this juvenile freak to retire.

Defensive Hindu groups by jigna on 02 Nov 2008

I do agree with Bal Thakeray. Enough of injustice is done towards Hindus. Now we are not going to be called terrorists because that is the birthright of Muslim fanatics. We do not want to deprive them of that. But we need to have defensive groups because the government has not done anything whatsoever. Now we need to first drive the pakis and bangladeshis outside our country. Clean Dharavi Bhendi Bazar, Juhu/andheri/ Mahim /Bandra where they have infiltrated. Catch them whoop them till they see stars in their country and never dream of returning to our soil. Also, the Biharis need to rise against the tyranny of Lalu prasad and Paswan and other Muslim jehadis.Do not be mislead by their stupid bhai chara or so called Muslim crap Hindu are one. We have never believed them and God keep our dear children away from their shadows because they are a curse to humanity. So Sena must make sure they should stay united with Hindus and not do what Raj has done.We must dissuade Hindus marry Muslim

Entire Hindu community should support by krishna on 02 Nov 2008

It is only investigation that is on. Until proved guilty in a court of law, any accused whether Hindu or Muslim or whatever religion is presumed innocent till then. Every accused irrespective of religion to which he or she belongs is entitled to be defended by counsel. Therefore to paint the Sadhvi and others in this case as Hindu terrorists is wrong. Shri.Thackeray has only emphasized this aspect. People should understand that for hundred actions of hate by members of one particular community there is bound to be reaction at least isolated from the offended community. Let the pseudo secularists bear this in mind and stop supporting militants.

These Hindu organizations are the only saviours of Hinduism by Ashok on 02 Nov 2008

Many Hindus beleive that they can cliam to be liberal and secular by bad-mouthing Hinduism.In the face of onslaught of Islamic marauders, Jehadis and Christian evangelists, Shiv Sena, VHP, BAjrang Dal and similar outfits are the ones who will protect us from these anti-Indian forces.Or, we face the fate of Hindus in Kashmir, Pakistan, Bangla Desh and may otehr Islamic countries.Fight or perish with your stupid 'offer-the-other-cheek policy of Gandhi.

preach rational thoughts by Kum on 02 Nov 2008

Thackeray or any thug doesn't represent Hindus. Hindus represented evolving society and always supported new rational thoughts. These thugs change their tune from regional to religion, and they play with emotions of people. Emotions of youth who believe in Alha or Jesus may be taking the path of violence, however I would like all Hindus to think rationally and not let other to play with their emotions.Thugs like Bal Thackeray misguiding the Indian youth by misrepresenting the great Chhatrapati Shivaji actions, Shivaji fought injustice and he wasn't on killing spree. Hey Thackeray, guide the youth for good cause, may be you can train the youth to gather intelligence from Pakistan or any other country and make India more beautiful. We do not want you to harm any hardworking and peace loving person of any faith. May be the present govt is loving terrorists for vote gain but we will not support you for wrong cause.

Sadhvi should be stoned on the road - from a Hindu by sachin on 02 Nov 2008

How stupid this Thackerey is. This is the same Sadhvi who also talks against Mahatma Gandhi. She also belongs to the same family organisation of biggest deshdrohi Nathuram Ghodse. I personally would like to ouster these Ghodses and Sadhvis out of Hinduism.

Please count me out! by Rohan Hegde on 02 Nov 2008

Balasaheb - you can speak for your SHIV SENA HINDU COMMUNITY. No need to speak for entire Hindu community. I don't think you deserve it.

100% agree Hindu terrorism is like the Boggie man nonexistant by Sanjay on 02 Nov 2008

When terrorist do bomb blast in the trains/metro of Mumbai and no solution of case exit because those terrorist were targeting Hindus, Such suspious cases where they can find a innocent girl and blame for an explosion where military grade RDX, only from a terrorist state of Pakistan, and further accuse that the motorcycle used being of the Sadvi and dening all possibilities that is likely a stolen motorcycle and that the victim Sadhvi would never use her own Motorcycle in terror act, if preplanned. Further the political activity of the Sadhvi being proHindu, an activitst must be the strong reason why the NCP, government of Mahrastra which is a complete failure in all cases of terrorism against Hindus have accused her.

Name a single BJP candidate that had worked in Parliament for investigating blasts and solving them to identify the real enemies by Jatin Patel on 02 Nov 2008

Nice words and we are with Sadhvi, but killing innocent muslims is not revenge. If you know that MR X Muslim was involved and the "secular government" was not working, and you assasinate them, great, but holding good muslims hostage is not fair. Although, when hindus are victimized and no legal, government and political representation is availed to majority of country, an outrage feeling goes in my system. Neither Congress, nor BJP had done anything to hold the victims accountable to the constitution of India, making the constitution a peace of joke. No body including BJP is interested in doing investigation and finding the enemies of India withing and outside India, as member of parliament. Forget about delivering justice to these blast perpetrators. In absence of political representation from a hindu party like BJP makes most of hindus feel vulnerable! It is a fair feeling and worth expressing.

Ban Bajrang Dal/Simi/Shivsena by Suvi Nadakluzhackal on 02 Nov 2008

Ban them all terrorist organisations from whatever religion they are from Hindu or Muslim or Sikh or Christian. Ban Simi/Bajrangdal/Shivsena etc. without cherry picking for any of their religion.

To analyze by REDDYBHAI on 02 Nov 2008

Anti hinduism is the secularism for most muslims ,christians ans vote bank politicians. Islamic fanatics are successful in forcing Congress to find some or other pretext to coin " Hindu Terrorist". Look at the jubliation of islamic fanatics to see such word.

Hindu by Jain on 02 Nov 2008

Bala Sahab,Tussi great ho! You speak the truth. No Hindu can disagree with you.Vande Matram

atrocitiies against Hindus by dk on 01 Nov 2008

All Hindus should support Sadhvi and Bal Thackerey. We should not go on watching this onslaught on HIndus forever ,stand up and defeat all forces of evil .Defending one's country and religion against violent aggression is not terrorism, it is a patriotic act.

extremism in the name of Hinduism by S.Krishnamurthy on 01 Nov 2008

Extremism in the name of religion should not be tolerated.The VHP,Bajrangdal and Shivsena have nothing to do with what Hinduism preaches.If some one is committing a crime they should be punished irrespective of their religious background!

Shame! by PR on 01 Nov 2008

Sonia led congress govt has done serious damage to BHARAT, Hindus are killed by terrorist daily, stop this slavery. Wake up, unite and defend your own country, from the terrorist govt CONGRESS WHICH IS FULL OF MURDERES,THIEVES AND traitors. Sonia does not represent BHARAT, she is more intrested in encouraging conversion.

Shut the Crap by Saccha Gujarati on 01 Nov 2008

govt is not pro minorities, if I have to please anybody I will try to please 80% population (hindus) instead of mixed minorities (15%). coz only 80% votes can make my govt. in centre. bomb blast is not the only way of terrorism. Muslims killed in gujarat, sikhs killed in delhi, christian killed in orrisa, is this anti-hindu govt. if it would be anti hindu govt, then these acts would have not perpetrated. then also people keeping on crying in the name of govt. Muslims ruled 400 years, but the total hindus killed during their rule (civilian life) is 3 times lesser than muslims killed post independence. the same bal thackery, who is talking about unity, doesnot understand North indians as hindus, when his newphew and his son are killing north indian hindus. Why north Indians are not hindus, why such double standards. Just ask this man, he was a petty cartoonist, from where he got property worth 5000 crores. Just be sane, and stop supporting such divise people. Jai Hind
