The city is witnessing tension for the last two days following MNS chief Raj Thackeray's anti-North Indian remarks, and clashes between MNS and Samajwadi Party workers.
Even though Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh promised stern action against the guilty to curb spread of violence, a firm crackdown is yet to take place.
On Tuesday morning 13 more activists of Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena were detained by the police. The new detention came in after many other MNS supporters were released on bail on Monday.
Samajwadi Party general secretary Amar Singh said action should be taken because Raj Thackeray had been issuing “veiled as well as open threats” to non-Maharashtrians and “exhorting his party cadres to perpetrate acts of violence” against them..
While the party filed a petition with the Election Commission demanding de-registration of MNS, Amar Singh lodged an FIR against the MNS chief accusing him of encouraging attacks on North Indians. However, no action has been taken in this regard.
In a new turn to the row on Monday over the MNS chief’s comments against non-Maharashtrians, supporters followed up clashes on the streets with an attack on Amitabh Bachchan’s Mumbai residence on Sunday night.
The Centre asked the state government to take all steps to maintain law and order.
Late on Sunday night, two motorcycle-borne youths threw glass bottles at Bachchan’s residence Prateeksha in Juhu. The attack followed Raj Thackeray’s comments questioning the star’s allegiance to Maharashtra and accusing him of being more loyal to native Uttar Pradesh.
Bachchan, who’s in Jaipur with family and Amar Singh to celebrate son Abhishek’s birthday, refused comment, but security was stepped up at his Mumbai homes.
Meanwhile, UP CM Mayawati condemned the Mumbai violence and said there will be full protection for those living in Mumbai.
Congress MP Sanjay Nirupam detained
Congress MP and spokesperson Sanjay Nirupam and 20 of his supporters were detained on Tuesday ahead of a protest march planned by them to Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray's residence in central Mumbai.
Nirupam had announced that he would take out a morcha to Raj's residence in Dadar, in the wake of his anti-North Indian statements and incidents of violence in the past two days.
Nirupam, alongwith a few Congress workers had assembled at Ganesh Chowk in Dadar, but police detained them before they could proceed to Raj's residence, DCP Zone 5 D M Phadtare said.

RatingNeither I am a Maharashtrian nor living in Mumbai. It is painful to read these news. Seeing the happenings there from far, makes me wonder is this the India we want to be proud of? India belongs to all Indians. Why some idiots do not understand that. No one have to prove anybody his right to stay work and do legally right things. Govt of India if it has any real power to execute it should immediately put this Raj Thackery and his goodas behind bar for life time. Those who instgate violence and create public nuisence has no right to be in the civil society. Get these good for nothing fellows out of the public view. No body should even dream of raking such silly issues in future. A bad apple will spoil the entire basket. Does the Govt run by Congress chamchaas know how to implement rules????
First and foremost, my apologies for any wrong from myself and others to hurt sentiment on both sides.JUST THOUGHT FOR A MOMENT ABOUT MY GOOD MAHARASTRIAN FRIEND, HIS MOM and father. They are my family too. How do I solve my family crisis as family member.WHAT NEEDS TO happen if we were smart country??Instead of dumb talibanic one.LALUS, THACREY, MANMOHAN and other major leader would have a Conference to address the crisis (they call it bipartisan conference in some wise country).1> Migration of Bagladesh refugees and people from other backward region people into all Major cities (not just mumbai) without being political.2> Suicide of farmers. Maximum in Maharastra.They should come with plan to address such crisis.I have a very elaborate plan that can work, but who care once you tell them. Had written many things such as Nuclear Doctrine, Currency crisis aversion, etc. etc.LET US SIT AN DISCUSS SOME PLAN, ALLOT SOME MONEY TO SOLVE THE CRISIS OF POOR, CRISiS AT BORDER.LOVE ALL AS FAMILY, KEEP OUT THE GOONDAS, THAT WILL HELP US SOLVE OUR CRISIS.Ultimately we need rehabitation of Poor people in respectful manner, right now Government is careless about their plight and they are hammered by Goondas like Laawaris. We cannot allow this. Smaller states from Maharastra can solve the regular crisis of farmers, we should go for it.

What is this non sense going on? What about Marathis living in Baroda, Delhi, South India? Should they send them back? Manmohan Singh's government is too weak to stop this kind of Nonsense. Such a narrowmidedness of Thakerey Family-Marhathi by birth will lead him nowhere.
LACK OF ENTERPRISE LEADS TO POWER AND MUSCLE POWER SHOW Because the Maharastra leaders are not enterprising or don't encourage enterprise, they hate anyone who is enterprising. If they split Maharastra as the did in Punjab (Haryana creation ), UP (uttrancal), Bihar (Jharkhan), MP (Chattis). They could easily manage smaller state and would have more chances for Maharastrians to enterprise and thus there would be less frictions versus people who are enterprising from North or West.
WORKING ANY WHER AN HELPING YOUR FAMILY IS OK,BUT HELPING THE OTHER PEOPLE AN IGNORNING THE POOR PEOPLE WHER U LIVE AN EARNING IS INJUSTICE,IF SOME ONE SPEAKS FOR THAT POOR PEOPLE WHY SO MUCH NOISE...SOLVE THIS PROBLEM;;WHY HUE AN CRY.
NizamWhat kind of lala land you are living in? The people who are getting hurt, who living get stop and family go hungry are poor people and not Raj Thakre and his criminal followers. Did you see the reality of the street? It was taxi driver who got beaten up, it is street vedor who loses opportunity of making living, business are closed it is poor majdoor who lose the bread of the day. Shame on you that you support the criminal elements of the soceity!
AS AN INDIAN CITIZEN, MY VIEWS IS THAT WE INDIANS MUST LOVE EACH OTHER WITH OUR HEARTS AN IF WE LIVE AT AN STATE OF OUR COUNTRY WE MUST DEVELOPE THAT STATE AN HELP THOSE POOR WHO LIVE IN THAT STATE BY DOING THIS WE CAN JUSTIFY OUR LOYALNESS TO THAT STATE AN TO THE PEOPLE OF THAT STATE.AS SOMEONE IS EARNING FROM THE PLACE THAT HE LIVE HE SHOULD NOT TAKE EASY TO THE PEOPLE OF THAT STATE.IF ONE IS EARNING HE SHOULD SPENT IT ON THE UPLIFTMENT OF THE POOR PEOPLE OF THAT STATE,
it is so painful that people of maharastra are lending an ear to a leader who is so opportunist that he forgets the basic rights provided by constitution. Its time that govt. of maharastra should take stern action against those preaching regionalism and hatred. Everybody should come forward and criticize the politics of divide and rule.
The Centre asked the state government to take all steps to maintain law and order. In respose, Maharashtra Govt. is taking stern action who will say anything against Raj Thackeray. Is this proper ??
Mr, Raj Thackrey Don't say jay maratha only say jay hind
Is there a Goonda Act? In fact, the legislation has a long name: "The Maharashtra Prevention of Dangerous Activities of Bootleggers, Drug-offenders, Forest-offenders, Goondas, Immoral Traffic Offenders, Slum-grabbers and Video Pirates Act, 1982." However, it's common to use the shorthand `Goondas Act' in news bulletins, so as not to offend listeners' interest. Goonda Acts, as listed in the IPC's chapters, include `offences against the human body' such as murder, `offences against property' such as dacoity, and `criminal intimidation, insult and annoyance.' Where does goonda come from? I guess they can come from all places, but if you're looking for the origin of the word, one suggestion is Hindi gunda `rascal.' Another theory is that goondas are related to goons. Well, you never know if the local bully has a foreign branch too, but goon means thug, whose designation is professional gangster, and job-description involves beating up or terrorising people. Less violently, and more insultingly, goon is a clumsy person. Goon originated from a 1933 comic strip character named `Alice the Goon' in Popeye, informs www.word-detective.com. However, it seems Hugh Rawson's `Wicked Words' traces goon to the Hindi gunda, spelt goondah in British newspapers of the 1920s.
Get to know the Thackeray Family of Goondas, here and now TO know the meaning of `goonda' many people are referring to gundu (fat) dictionaries and only ending up disappointed because the definition is not as dramatic as recent headlines. The Concise Oxford English Dictionary defines the word quite simply as "n. Indian a hired thug or bully," and Encarta doesn't elaborate either when saying, "South Asia ruffian or hooligan." The common man is obviously in a hurry to get to know the goonda. And an indication of his ubiquitous curiosity has been showing in all the media lines such as, `goonda who,' and `help with goonda.' In atonement, therefore, here is some guidance on the subject. Who is a goonda? Goonda means a person, who either by himself or as a member of or leader of a gang, habitually commits or attempts to commit or abets the commission of offences, punishable under Chapter XVI or Chapter XVII or Chapter XXII of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860.SO DESPITE THE LAWS, WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT NOT PROTECTING ITS CITIZENS FROM THESE GOONDAS? WHAT KIND OF BLOODY DEMOCRACY IS IT IF THERE IS NO SAFEGUARD OF LIFE, LIBERTY AND PROPERTY? ALL BLOODY LEADERS OF INDIA SHOULD HANG THEIR HEADS IN SHAME FOR BRINGING INDIA TO SUCH SORRY PASS. HOW ARE INDIANS ANY DIFFERENT FROM THOSE KILLING EACH OTHER IN KENYA AND RWANDA AND BURUNDI?
as rightly said by Sir Kumar Ketkar that he should speak about upper class expart living in mumbai and not the poor north indian,
What did Shinde do? They are trying to dilute the case as he was no where in the picture.
