Mumbai, January 5: Shiv Sena has accused ‘outsiders’ of tarnishing the reputation of the city by their molestation of two women on the New Year night in Mumbai and said it has taken upon itself the duty of protecting the women in the metropolis.

In a front page write-up in party mouthpiece Saamna on Saturday, Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray said, "Sena has taken upon itself the duty of protecting the women of the city as people coming from outside have tarnished its image".

He also urged the police to ensure that ‘real culprits’ are caught and those who outrage the modesty of women will not be tolerated.

The Sena leader said though the police cannot be blamed for this incident such things were happening in Mumbai ‘because there is no such thing as a government in Maharashtra’. As a result, ‘outsiders’ have no fear, he added.

MUMBAI MOLESTATION BY OUTSIDERS- SIVA SENA by Saurabh Siddhartha on 07 Mar 2008

"BIHARIS an unwanted lot" - the statement made by SIVA SENA SUPremo is not just a slap on the biharis or outsiders but also insults the INDIAN CONSTITUTION. We Talk about Unity in Diversity but now only diversity is left and nothing is left to talk about unity and Ofcourse! this type of statement is going to hamper the national integrity. The law executives should check these type of person, whoever may be and they should be kept out of the main stream.

Don't play on regional lines.. by Sanathan on 06 Jan 2008

Forget Shiv Sena, although some cadre's may be patriotic and be honest in their service to nation, over all idea of regionalism and separatist attitude and Marathi manush phiosophy won't blend in well with general hindu culture and now hindu culture isn't the one practised by BJP but overall heart beat of India, which is the culture of India..or Hindistan as turkish call it. A lot of Indian men, cutting across classes, race and religion don't behave well or respect woman on street. They may perhaps have regard for their mom and sis but not other woman. Why is our parliment filled with men? When worst of men and women combine together, it would be too bad for women. Having said this we don't want woman rights activist's to become representative of people but rather a mother who views her son and daughter alike. The other day a hindu lady on her way from Mumbai to Manglore was telling, how she got stranded in between and how a luxury bus driver full of religious and pious muslims returning from Bombay to South India gave her a lift and they treated her with respect and dignity. So please stop playing caste, religion and regional politics to divide the society..It is again all good Vs evil. The soaps shown by many hindi TV channels has already started developing and shaping new mindset in the classes to believe what has been considered wrong doing can be done as lot of people do it and get away with it. Moral ethics need to be upheld by the society. We need good from all region and religion to be a good place to live in.

Mumbai molestation case by Name supplied on 06 Jan 2008

Not long ago Shi Senics were beating up young girls in Nagpur on St. Valentines day. They have appointed themselves religious police like Soudi Arabia. These people will be better off in Soudi Arabia.

molestation case by rahul on 05 Jul 2008

very well said,these shiv sainiks were there to beat

cultural difference by Yogesh Datta on 06 Jan 2008

Mr. Raj, people like you not only encourage others but join such vulger acts. How come in no other country girls are molested but only in India ? Visit Singapore, Thailand and even Muslim country Indonesia, girls roam about in western dresses and no one bother them. Why you do not confess that Indian male is a filth of sewer.

Shiva Sena's goonda gardi by parv singh on 06 Jan 2008

It is really a funny statement .. we see almost daily the goondagardi of Shivsainiks and they call themeselves to be from the family of Saywadi Harish Chandra .. Whatever happens in Mumbai got a link with Shiv Sainiks and there must be some thing with this incident also as even local Police also a part of Shiv Sena.If like this, tommorrow all regional parties will blame outsiders for all crimes .. there are BIharis

Ethical Governance by skannath on 06 Jan 2008

It will be interesting to know why so many people attacked these nri and why they are hesitant to lodge complaint? Indian society has not experienced Politics of Envy, to the degree it is practised elsewhere. When there are differences scores can be settled by totally unknown. This incident has affected Indian psyche for sure, but its high time people take a stand not to do other peoples dirty work, before saying yes know why they are doing it and in good conscience take a stand against it if wrong.

Jai Shivaji-Jai Shiv Sena by Faisulabhoay Mohmed on 06 Jan 2008

Perhaps the Shiv Sena's personnals were involved in Latur murder and rape and that is why they did not went to the rescue of the Accused of murdering and raping a minor girl.Jai Shivaji in your name how many crimes have been committed by your so called decendants.

Don't blame outsiders..It is good Vs evil by Sanathan on 06 Jan 2008

There was a incidence in Dahisar not so long ago, perhaps it was about a year or two, when a young girl was brutually raped and murdered by a migrant labourer/youth from UP. The girl was a brahmin girl, if she had behaved like one or even any conservative muslim girl and stayed away from strangers, she would have been saved. The bombay police managed to crack the case and arrest the culprit. Girl's family was in shock and are perhaps living in pain, they lost their honest, simple daughter who was too humane and went her way to offer water to the labourer's working in nearby construction site and eventually one of the laboured did this crime of killing her. There is a old saying you cannot bring everyone to your home, you may befriend few good guys at school or college and you may not like another handful. There is no way you can like everyone because for instance, they don't view your young daughter with same love and affection that you see her. The cancerous cell may be within the body but you shouldn't allow it to spread. So at the end of the day, it turns out to be good against evil. You cannot judge people the way you judge cooked rice, a grain is cooked and of course the whole rice is cooked, so the idea that outsider's alone are responsible for problems of Bombay is a narrow minded view. Punish the guilty even if they are grown in the Sena leaders own backyard!!! Hindus, Christian, Muslim's, Parsis, Jains and all other people living in Bombay have different culture, as long as people respect other's culture and act as being civilized then you can maitain some order in society. These incidences wouldn't happen in a Muslim neighbor hood. Shame on those men (including the photographer) who witnessed this incidence but couldn't intervene to stop the guys involved from molesting the woman.

Crime on women! by M V Chilukuri on 06 Jan 2008

I think the press keep this matter on backyard while police take it seriously! Currently, in India it is other way, and certainly worst for Indian society, as it doesn't help anybody!Bollywood influence is more than booze influence in these matters, especially in Mumbai

We are taught that way! Why hue and cry and now?? by siva on 06 Jan 2008

Yes, ITS' true; after all we ARE ALL taught, for centuries, to make our WOMEN as SLAVES.We do that. I am not sure why Shiv Sena objcets to this---as it did not object to treating women---ALL these years...

Not guilty? by Bhagwan Das on 06 Jan 2008

If Shiva sena says they are not guilty, are they not guilty? Do we follow rule of law or rule of Shiv Sena. The all powerful media is also afraid to criticize such statement. Those boys must be Shiva Sena supporters.

Is loafer a hero? by Sanjay on 06 Jan 2008

In the age where the loafer is the hero, and this common place in movies and etc. They just get drunk and slap themselves on the back how great they are and how really achieved they are all against Hindu culture...... Seeing them eat their non-veg, getting drunk, deluding themselves that they have any strength. Well can a Drunk be strong and have steady legs, can a person eating non-veg which clogs the arteries in the heart, clogs also in the muscles, clogs also in the brain, how can they be strong and have good stamina? One person said they have to drink in order to digest that non-veg food.......Man emphasis on man should exercise self-control in order that morality pervades, but when they are drunk, How? Having lived a Bhrama-acharya life for over 29 years, I attest this is fact, it is upto to men to control themselves, women have no power in this, unless the man is of week, and feeble minded, and only because of a week and feeble mind a man excuse his action, but there will be consequences of every actions as this incident shows.Hindu is a culture of self control, not a culture of self indulgences. The more we forget our culture the more we fall into chaos.

Shiv Sena's culture by Shivkumar Dubey on 06 Jan 2008

Thackerys have always joined hands with the ruffians and molesters.Sooner they are curbed the better.They are the one who are in hands and gloves with blackdogs of the Police as Tyagi was the man to create riots in Mumbai.This Jhadav is no better as under his regime the entire extended suburbs of Mumbai have become hot beds of goodaism.

Maharashtra is not the only state by Sanjay on 06 Jan 2008

Uddhav Thackeray like Rahual Gandhi has not yet mastered political speech...........Now, everyone knows if girl is kidnap or goes missing from another state, she probably ends up in Mumbai's red-light district, where she may disappear overseas. I hope this reputation of your Mumbai you are able to correct........Every child of India has heard the great exploits of Shivaji, but you wish to make him from Maharashtra and not one of the greatest heroes of our nation. Listen, some of us trace our ancestry to before there was a Maharashtra, before there was a Punjab, Gujarat, or any state, before even they were languages such as Gujarati, Maharathi,Punjabi, Bengali, Hindi,. But we respect Hindu Dharma and because of it we have our strength, our character…This false pride, group-ism is for people who lack any confidence in themselves, therefore without self-respect they cling to false pride, so as if they are some how superior. For Hindus all have atma, and all atmas are equal, and it is through that atma one can know the ultimate. Therefore self-respect, self-confidence, one begins to develop a broader in scope, it does not forgets one’s ancestry, nor forget one’s morality.

Separate currency for J by Ashok Kaul on 06 Jan 2008

Shiv Sena is better than CM of J and K, who is demanding separate currency for J and K to make it autonomous.

Hate against each others are inbuilt in Indians by Mrs Chaarulata on 06 Jan 2008

What is bullshit Marathi and Maharashtrian pride ? Why can't we talk about Indian pride only ? Educated indians are as illiterate as uneducated one with regard to national unity and pride. This is the reason no country cares for india and indians anywhere across the globe.

Mumbai Molestation and Siva Sena by S. Vijayakumar on 06 Jan 2008

The molesters were identified by the press photographers who were eyewitnesses.Police role seems to be neutral in this case. Since Siva Sena is supporting the molesters it is to be inquired whether these hooligans are party workers or not. Siva Sena is an anti-Hindu organization dividing the Hindu society on regionalism. Hindus should never support this anti national organization. BJP should sever all ties with Siva Sena and widen its base in Maharashtra through Sakha activities.

Mumbai molestation and Shiv Sena by Name supplied on 06 Jan 2008

It was Shiv Senics who were beating up young girls in Nagpur on St. Valentine's day. The disgusting thing is almost all of them were wearing western trousures and some ties also.

Mumbai molestation by Samir on 06 Jan 2008

Shiv Sena by Sunita on 06 Jan 2008

Sonia Gandhi is happy with Bal Thakarey becoz he gave India First woman President.

Maharashtrian pride by R S on 06 Jan 2008

I have to admit one thing; having lived in atleast half a dozen states in Inida for a year or more, I have observed the Maharashtrians youths to be the most decent blokes, when comes to treating their women. Same goes to their Auro rickshaw drivers. By the way, most auto drivers are Shiv Sainiks, while the Taxies are driven by migrants from UP and Bihar, not to say Taxiwallas are bad. I am not a Maharashtrian, I am originally from Chennai, living in U.S.

Thackerays should be arrested before civil war starts in Mumbai by Mrs Chaarulata on 06 Jan 2008

The way islamic communalism and terrorism is deep rooted in congress,communists and islamic seculars; the regionalism, localism, son of soil syndrome, and threat to the notion of national integrity is deep rooted in Shiv Sena. The political parties of india are fighting for their own survival for anti-national ideologies.Indian democracy on the cost of integrity will lead to civil war and bloodshed. Thackerays should be arrested before civil war starts in Mumbai.

Bal Thackeray, Udhav Thackeray, and Raj Thackeray are mass murderers of our own hindu brothers and sisters by Mrs Chaarulata on 06 Jan 2008

The way Pakistan was born against the hatred and venom for hindus, Shiv Sena was also born on the hate and venom against hindus living outside maharashtra. Followers of son of soil syndrome Shiv Sainiks goons and rowdies had already committed genocide against Gujaratis, South Indians, and North Indians in the past. Lakhs of people had been suffered in the hands of Shiv Sena goons in last 50 years. Leaving fomer PM Mrs Indira Gandhi no politician could gather courage to punish Shiv Sena. Mrs Indira Gandhi had put Bal Thackerary in jail for many years during emergency. It is bad luck of our country that no one has courage to fight against islamic terrorism and son of soil syndorme of Shiv Sena, ULFA, DMK and their ilks. Bal Thackeray, Udhav Thackeray, and Raj Thackeray are mass murderers of our own hindu brothers and sisters and Indian democracy have failed to bring these guys to justice.

Sukhrani by Sanjay on 06 Jan 2008

So Mr. Udhav Thackeray once again takes the low road instead of the high road. A pity. One had hoped that a young man bred in a cosmopolitan city having benefited from a good education would have developed the capacity to objectively look at the facts and base his assessments and statements on these facts. Obviously none of this applies in his case. Some day he may realize that he is an Indian first, a Mahrarshtrian, a resident of Mumbai, a family member and a Hindu in that order. Good luck to him! In the interim we suffer his insights and the unfortunate reactions to them.

IDs for outsiders by Sreenivas on 05 Jan 2008

Like Delhi, Mumbai should also insist in implementing law to check the IDs.This will contain illegal foreigners entering the state and mumbai.
