Mumbai, March 27: The MNS has again stepped up its attack on superstar Amitabh Bachchan, this time indirectly through a poster, mocking at him for going back on his decision to donate his agricultural land to farmers in Pune district.

Though the Shiv Sena's break-away outfit did not name Big B in the posters, the insinuation was clear. The huge poster in Marathi showed a sketch of a man saying in Marathi Majhe daan parat kara (return my donation). In the bottom it wrote Superstar Shetkari (superstar farmer).

The cartoon posters were put up last night in Dadar areas. However, they were missing this morning. The MNS claimed that the police had removed them.

Commenting on the posters, an MNS spokesman denied that the party was making fun of Big B and said "it was only to express our happiness that if a superstar can become a farmer, then it only indicates better and glamorous days for the farmers of India. Perhaps it might even halt farmers' suicides," he said.

The MNS swipe on Big B comes in the wake of latter's move to go back on his decision to donate the farm land which he bought in Pune from the farmers. In a letter addressed to the Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) of Maval taluka on Tuesday, the actor had said he wanted to unconditionally withdraw his earlier decision to donate the land to the original owners.

This is for the second time that Big B has become a target of MNS. The first time MNS targeted the superstar at a function last month when its leader Raj Thackeray alleged that Big B was more loyal to his home state Uttar Pradesh than Maharashtra.

Amitabh by Rajan on 28 Mar 2008

It has become fashion to criticize Raj for everything he says. These hero worshiping stupid people should realize that criticizing anyone no matter how rich or popular is still allowed in India unless these people want to bring fascism to India. Other reason could be these people are narrow minded north Indians who like to criticize others but when they hear a north Indian being criticized all the open mindedness goes out the window. If Raj and MNS had really killed a north Indian others would be fleeing right now instead of going to their daily work as usual. Stop worshiping Amitabh like a god. He showed himself as a farmer and got land allotted from UP government. Why does such a respected and rich individual need to do such a cheap thing.

Retreival of Donations by Varinder Sarin on 27 Mar 2008

It has become a fashion to criticise Raj Thackeray (MNS) on every word he says. Is not it true that Mr.Bachan has donated the Lonavala land to farmers a few months back and why he is claiming back now and why Mr. Raj Thackeray should not speak on this issue? If others are mute spectators, should Raj toe the line of those eunuchs? How many people will ask for their donations be given back from the temple trust of Balaji? Perhaps the day is not far off when demands for retrieval of donations from Balaji trust will come forward.
