The resolution for their suspension, moved by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Harshvardhan Patil, was adopted by a voice vote with Shiv Sena-BJP alliance members abstaining.
Patil described as "most condemnable" the conduct of the newly elected MNS MLAs -- Shishir Shinde, Ram Kadam, Ramesh Wanzale and Vasant Gite -- and said it was against the highest tradition of the House.
"This act had tarnished the image of the august House and hence amounts to breach of privilege," Patil said.
MNS leader Bala Nandgaonkar took objection to the resolution and said it was Azmi who had provoked his colleagues and demanded action against the SP leader.
Nandgaonkar said the MNS had highest regard for women and that its members had "not misbehaved" with any woman MLA. The MNS leader said he was offering an apology if any action of his party MLAs had hurt any woman member of the assembly.
PWP MLA Minakshi Patil, who was present near Azmi when the MNS members assaulted him, was allegedly pushed in the melee.
MNS MLA Shishir Shinde described the resolution for suspension as "unjust". "Indira Gandhi's example is before me.
She too was suspended from the Parliament by sheer force of majority. But, she ruled the hearts of Indians and rode back to power from Chikmaglur. I will win again by over one lakh votes," Shinde asserted.
Shinde was not present in the house when his name was called thrice for taking oath as member.
Eknath Khadse, the BJP group leader, called for a sympathetic view of the entire incident. "Nobody supports what happened on Monday. But, there is nothing wrong in checking the footage again to verify the MNS claim that it was Azmi who had provoked them through his body language," he said.
He said since it was the first day of the new house, a lenient view should be taken.
Out of the four MNS MLAs, Ram Kadam and Shishir Shinde did not take the oath.
Earlier, Khadse sought clarification from the government on what he termed as "a riot-like" situation in Bhiwandi following the incident.
Home Minister R R Patil informed the House that Samajwadi party workers had allegedly pelted stones at buses in protest and that six of them were arrested. "Nobody would be allowed to take law into their hands," he asserted.
BJP member Girish Bapat took oath in Sanskrit as Madhukar Pichad chaired the proceedings.
However, when another BJP member Girish Mahajan started taking oath in Sanskrit, Pro-tem Speaker Ganpat Deshmukh objected, saying as per article 210 of the constitution and Rule 22 of the Legislative assembly, a member can take oath in his mother tongue only if he is not well-versed in Marathi, Hindi or English.
Bapat and some BJP members objected to Deshmukh's ruling, charging the chair was insulting Sanskrit and pointed out that they had always taken oath in Sanskrit.
To this Deshmukh said the issue did not arise earlier because nobody had objected. "It is only now that the issue of which language a member should take oath in has come up," he said.
When informed that earlier Madhukar Pichad had allowed Girish Bapat to take oath in Sanskrit, Deshmukh relented and also granted permission to Mahajan.
Congress member Annie Shekhar struggled to read out her oath in Marathi and after she completed, she was applauded for her effort by the treasury Benches.
Congress member Amin Patel said he was comfortable speaking in Marathi and could have taken oath in the language, but was doing so in Hindi as a mark of protest against Azmi's assault.
Ramsingh Thakur of Congress said he would take oath in both Hindi and Marathi but was disallowed. He then took oath in Hindi only.

These so called politicians using people sentiments to make money and power in short time. and this is not hidden to anyone. But the saddest and worst part is people are also supporting such politicians who are spreading hatred and disharmony, instead of focusing on development and peace. Its not about insult to hindi or marathi but its insult to our national language and pride. Alas! politicians will keep on doing such dirty acts as long as people keep voting them on this basis.

RAM KADAM OF MNS DONE HIJRA THING IF HE IS REALLY A MARD GO TO MALEGAON OR BHIWANDI PEOPLE WILL SHOW HIM WHO IS ABU ASIM AZMI. THIS IS A SHAMEFUL THING WHICH HE DID IN ASSEMBLY. ABU IS NOT BOUND TO FOLLOW ORDER OF RAJ .I LOVE RAJ FOR HIS STRAIGHT FORWARD VISION BUT THIS THING HURT US VERY MUCH .MAHARASHTRA GET ASHAMED DUE TO THIS IDIOT MLA.
Shame on you, with a name Bharatwasi. Instead of being together and fight the extremists and the foreign intruders, hell you are going back to middle aged castism and sectism. Pity on you! Atleast before putting on the label 'Bharatwasi' better goto the roots and think how did the word Bharat came from and that the empire of Bharat was ruled from which part of present India.
As a Bharatwasi, we are proud of what MNS did to the third grade depleted useless malechchas Anyone with a faith alien to this great land of ours is a traitor of this nation. The faith alien to this nation are Muslim, Christian, Communism, SECULARISM. Raj Thackrey is against the third grade north Indians who have already destroyed our mother land by harboring so many mallechchas that the whole UP, Bihar, Bengal stinks with cesspools of dirt and garbage. They are doing the same thing to other parts of country. Bengalis, Biharis and UP wallas are drain on national resources of this country. All they have done is make their own lands barren by giving fillip to mallechchas. Biharis and UP wallas should be kicked back to their places. They need to clean their houses first before going out and making houses of other Bharatwasis like Maratthas, Punjabis, Gujaratis, Rajasthanis, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Central India, Kerala a place of Mallechchas.
MNS is run by hooligans & rowdies like Raj Tackeraery who has no morals, ethics & respect for there own family, community,Bombay people & Maharastrains in particular. What better can we expect from slumdogs. I prefer not to throw stone over the dirty waters with full of diseases like MNS & Raj in particular. REMEMBER THEY CANNOT LIVE WITH HUMANS AS THEY ARE NOT ONE OF HUMANS.
Raj Thakre is absolutly right, where person is staying from his birth he should speak in Marathi, Word use by this is very wrong because we are from this MATHI only. Slumdogs are who are speaking about us, When we will die we will be in the our Birth Place we will have our identity but thay will be unknow.
MNS did an unethical & unconstitutional protest & got suspension of 4 MLAs for 4 years. I respect the verdict. But why did Abu Azmi not get suspension for showing 'Sandals' to MNS MLAs & provoking them? Why no national newspaper has dispassionately analysed the incidence & asked for Abu Azmi's suspension as well? Is this yet another example of biased media of world's largest democracy?
MNS ......LOST 4 WICKET IN ITS FIRST OVER ITSELF HOW FAR THEY CAN SURVIVE. POLITICAL PLATFORM IS TEST MATCH WHERE YOU HAVE STICK TO THE WICKET FOR A LONG TIME AND HIT ACCORDING TO THE MERIT OF BOWL. HERE MNS TRIES TO SCORE MAXIMUM IN THE BEGINING WITHOUT KNOWING THE MERIT OF THE BOWL. MNS IS GOING TO LOSE THE MATCH SOON. MNS IS NOT CAPABLE OF PLAYING SINGLE OVER MATCH. HOW THEY CAN SERVE THE MAHARASHTRA. THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY AGENDA FOR COMMON PEOPLE. MARATHI MANOOS IS BEING CHEATED BY MNS. THEY ARE TRAITORS THEY SHOULD BE TRIALED IN THE COURT AND BE PUNISHED SEVERALLY
The truth is nobody wants Biharis. Why should they
So Pujari, why are you afraid of bihari ? If you have guts, come forward and compete with them instead of dropping a message on the site. Why do not you accept the fact that biharis has out-played you maharastrians in all the fields and the time will come soon when biharia-up will rule the nation.
Every regional or national party must be asked to submit affidavit to election commission that if, any member of its party violates code of conduct which should include a) Disrespect to Any Language, b) National song c) National flag besides others, EC can withdraw its recognition and prohibit from contesting election in the country for 15 years.It is a shame that MNS members have been only suspended for 4 years.
What is the democracy? Accepting the dominance of UP's and Biharis. Improve your own states. Do not become the burden for other states. Democracy means accepting Hindi as a national language. Why? Why not Marathi or Gujarati or Kannada can become the national language. UP's and Biharis are very arogoant and thats why they need answer in that language only. Recently, MP minisiter Mr. Chauhan also commented about Biharis.

Is MP minister Chauhan a final authority on Biharis? His state leads in Crime. dowry case etc(Ref to National Crime Bureau Report). If UP/Biharis are arrogant, what should we conclude from your statement and from Marashtrians supporting such acts? Ofcourse, Bihar and UP are not as developed as Maharashtra, but then Gujarathis, Soth Indians, and other Non-Mumbaikar's also have crowded mumbai...So, only Biharis and UPites have not crowded the Mumbai. The perception should be right. else, earlier it was South Indians for Thakreys, Now Bihari and UPites and next target could be you Marathis as well outside your own so-called state. Don't show bad ways to others. Things might boomrang at you too.
only after this type of controversies ...politicians will learnTO DEVELOP THEIR OWN STATES AND PEOPLE WILL KICK THE KODAS ETC FROM THE POLITY?

RAJ THACKERAY AND HIS MEN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO PLAY WITH DEMOCRATIC SET UP OF THE COUNTRY ! EVERY BODY HAS A RIGHT TO SPEAK ANY LANGUAGE OF HIS OWN CHOICE !! IRRESPECTIVE OF ANY ORIGIN, ANY COLOR , ANY CAST, ANY CREED, ANY LANGUAGE ,ALL OF US SHOULD RESPECT & LOVE OUR DEMOCRATIC SET-UP !!!
MNS stand for Maharastra Naji Sena, against national interest, so election commision should ban MNS-Raj
What I feel about this whole situation is that everyboy has their views and idologies but you can't just force others to follow them for your personal benefits. I initially admired MNS and expected they would do something for the so called 'Marathi Manoos' but not in a way that the Marathi Manoos himself should feel ashamed of being Marathi Manoos.
if an MLA have been elected from maharashtra if he can not speak a single word in marathi for the people who have elected you in this soil ,it is very clear that in next five year what he is going to do for maharashtra ,its only vote banking respect the rastrabhasa , jai maharashtra.
I think now it is high time that Raj Thackeray should be send back to Madhya Pradesh as he is not a true Maharstrian and any Maratha will be ashamed of what he is doing and spoiling the name mof Maharstra well he can go his place in Madhya Pradesh and do whatever he can
Mr. Raj is a millionaire, his children goes in a Scottish school not "MARATHI SCHOOL". He arranged programs in Hindi for FUNDS for his party. He loves dogs not human beings, He loves to fight for Marathi language instead of Marathi people/farmers who are dying. He cuts his birthday cake written "Bhaiya" on it. Travels in luxury cars. If this is the way you get the fruits for fighting for "MARATHI MANOOS" cause why not every one should give a try?
Is it the begining of another USSR COLLAPSE ?
Hindi is official language and not the national language of India. Why other states should accept Hindi as a national language. Why UP's and Biharis (not the entire north India) wants to dominate other states? No hindi in maharashtra. Only Marathi. We do not accept hindi as a national language. If you want to stay in maharashtra speak Marathi. Don't cry that Indian law gives us permission to move anywhere in India. UP and Bihari leaders spoiled their own states and thats why so many people from this states are moving outside for bread and butter. If you are so good why don't you improve your own states. Don't come here and teach us laws. First improve yourself.Up and Bihar's economy is poor. Ultimately whole India's GDP is coming down. Think about this. Nobody will accept your dadagiri.
I find it surprising that not a single soul stirred not a single politician condemeed nor a single channel spew venom when a fatwa was issued against singing of Vande Mataram when it is legally mentioned it as rashtra Geet and nowhere it is mentioned that Hindi is a rashtra basha.as regards azmi he is no saint but a big criminal involved in 93 mumbai blasts .why our Hindi lovers are supporting him. what he has done for Hindi in his home state UP.It is ruse used by Polticians like raj,Azmi,Mulayam laloo etc. to stenghten their vote bank.You slap me and iwill act as crying baby.This is all well planned.and our media is putting ghee in fire.Neither has been hindi insulted nor Marathi.The fight is not for any language but for creating base for themselves.and one final thing.for getting a domicile certificate it is just impossible if you want to admit your child but what about requierment for MLA who wants to be law maker and proceeding is done in local language which he does not know.
We make the mistake of giving the devil its due by writing so much about him. He and his party have had a sudden rise or should I say have replaced the Shiv Sena to a large extent in ideology and tactics. Essentially it is the state government who support these unethical and unconstitutional parties and we the common man will pay the price when we have riots and violence in our streets and communities. Bal did exactly the same thing and now Raj is just trying to be a copycat. He talks about Marathi Manoos, why did he invest over 400 crores to buy Kohinoor mills when he could have used it to help the thousands of Marathi Manoos who are even today dying of hunger in the villages, why does he live in the city when the true Marathi Manoos is suffering in the villages, why does he send his son to an English Medium School called "Bombay Scottish", when so many of his Marathi Manoos have no hope of education? "POWER & MONEY" - -blind followers he is no different from Osama Bin Laden or Hitler
India is a fertile ground for the growth of goons like Raj Thackeray. He is growing like a palm tree. It is not his fault, but the idiot population who are responsible for the growth of goons in India in general, and in Mahrashtra in particular. Why the govt. at the centre keep their eyes closed when anti-national political parties like MNS grow. The onus of such evil falls on central govt. and the unethical people.
I feel sad to read comments written by many Maharashtrians to the article. Why this anger against people from UP & Bihar? Isn't Maharashtra what it is today because people from all over the country invest in the state, buy products made there and best talent goes to work there? Imagine what we will do to our country if we prevent people from migrating from one place to the other - it will fall apart. Unfortunately there are many amongst us who do not seem to understand this, fed as they are with hatred by the politicians. I can see another Punjab (of 80's) simmering in Mumbai, fires of which will destroy the city and eventually there will only be ashes for local goons to lord over. We are tolerating creation of another Bhindranwale.
how nice it would have been if such GOONDARAJ was shown on 26/11, instead of hiding behind each others ass. We would have joined u to make Marathi our official language if u ass holes had let the female give birth in a clean environment and not in the toilet of the railway coach. You have made Marathi a bad word.
