Violence in Nashik
Activists of the MNS attacked fruit-vendors hailing from north India in the Shalimar Chowk area of Nashik on Tuesday, leading to tension in the city. A handful of MNS activists allegedly beat up the vendors and damaged their hand-carts, police said.
Some of the hawkers were injured in the incident and were being treated in government hospitals. The hawkers were mostly from Uttar Pradesh and have been selling seasonal fruits for quiet a long time.
However, MNS General Secretary Vasant Gite denied that his party members were involved in the attack. On Monday night some unidentified persons attacked industrial workers hailing from UP and Bihar following which many of them have left the city, police said. Shops in Nashik road in the city closed down following the incident. City police have deployed force in the areas, police added.
No Anticipatory Bail
The MNS on Tuesday said their chief Raj Thackeray, who is facing possible arrest for making provocative statements against north Indians, will not seek anticipatory bail.
"The MNS Chief has decided that he would not seek any anticipatory bail," a party spokesman said.
Police on Monday gave an indication that Thackeray and SP leader Abu Asim Azmi will be arrested for making provocative statements, which resulted in incidents of violence across the city last week.
"The cases have been registered on the basis of certain evidence and arrest is mandatory," Joint Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) K L Prasad said on Monday.
Prasad, while refusing to disclose when the arrests would be made, said the charges under which Thackeray and Azmi had been booked were non-bailable and cognisable.
The city police had registered cases against Thackeray and Azmi on Sunday night at separate police stations under sections 153 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot), 153 A (promoting enmity between groups on the basis of place of birth, residence, etc), 153 B (assertions prejudicial to national integration) and 117 (abetting the commission of an offence by the public), he said.

RatingHow can this Happen in India? Who does he,Raj, think he is?We,Gujarati's will start pulling ALL the Money and see what Marathi's can live on?
raj thakrey is immediately arrested to you.
All the damage done to common public should come from Thackaray pocket not from Government.
This is nothing but power grabbing by two cousin brothers after balasaheb's death.
Who is this Thackeray? I was just wondering the other day, Thackaray is a foreign name. British to be exact. Searc googlehttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en
Its shameful whatever MNS leadership and cadre is doing. They are strengthening the hands of anti national forces, therefore it is desirous that Raj Thackeray thinks with cool head and would appeal to his party cadres to show restrain.
It's time to vote in this country!Where is this young Bharat?Or people like tackeray's will spoil all what we have done in 60 years
MNS CHIEF
Its a great news that Both Guilty person has been arrested.
Indian Express moderators - please grow up and stop deleting comments which are telling the truth. Don't be such weasels to only allow lame comments that i see here. I'm sure you are your readers are mature enough to handle the truth !
Thackerays are MAD right from "the Great Bal Thackerays Regime", if each state has a CLOWN like Bal Thackeray or his sons then we will have Mera Bharat broken into 50 different countries.... No wonder British ruled India for so long... just because of the Selfish attitude of politicians. Hitler is more patriotic than Thackerays.Thackerays are clowns who don't have the guts, if they had guts they would fight for the Indian Army.Jai Hind.
why all people are thinking that it the city of marathi people only?? its very sad to know that,first of all its India and mumbai is in India only, so, anyone can go anywhere in India

The mumbai city shines because of wealth of places like Jharkhand,Bihar and UP is going there as the consumers are in the northern part. does all the consumers of these states boycott all maharashtra produced products . Then the riches will be converted into rags
well if all these consumers are to boycott all the products that are from Mumbai or Maharashtra, then what products are they going to buy?the riches may be converted to rags, but the consumers will have to go without products...
Seeing the temper cathing up, its very nice to see people talk against this statement of Raj's but dear india's this is the same thing writen and implimented in the Indian Constitution, protect the weaker sections which by reservations and bottle feeding, when u look thru Marathi eyes that's what they are asking for. So at least after all these years learn to trate all Inidians as indians , thro all the constitution in the gutter and merge all the states into one india, one indian and 1 citizen feed the poor with food and medical until they can work for themselfs. Long live India and away with partion ideas and a fools book constitution.
In India we can not say that Maharashtra is only for Maharashtrians . Think of Marathis' living all over India . But question is when North Indian state will start performing inspite of good hold
While raj's point is not invalid, it is indeed sad to see hindu's creating further divisions amongst themselves and fighting on these issues.
We lack good leaders. Not only that, we lack good people. If we can react to such provocations then we are either fools or we are not mature enough. LIve and Let live... Dont get provoked by hero type log.
