Mumbai, February 10: In a sign that Shiv Sena is worried over its former leader Raj Thackeray 'hijacking' its 'Marathi pride' plank, Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray has warned that his party will not tolerate workers 'brought from outside' for modernisation of Mumbai airport.

"There are going to be one lakh jobs for airport works. If you bring outside workers, then they will be packed off in a parcel and sent back in a cargo plane," Uddhav said.

"Shiv Sena is not against development...but development should not affect us adversely and destroy families of the workers," the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief's cousin said while addressing a large gathering of Bharatiya Kamgar Sena members at the airport.

Uddhav said that Mumbai airport has been named after Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj after much struggle. "Here, we want to see a Marathi nameplate welcoming those coming to Mumbai," he said.

He also took a swipe at Raj, saying 'Marathi people know what is original and what is fake'. "Marathi people and Shiv Sena have an unbreakable bond, that is why it has upset some people.

"The events during the last week are an indication," he said, without naming Raj Thackeray.

EXILE THACKERAY TO AFRICA by Raj Singh on 13 Feb 2008

The bloodthirstiness of the so called shivasena is only comparable to the rioters and murderers in Africa/ Rwanda and Burundi. The best thing to do is to stick these thugs and subhumans on a boat and send them to Africa to live with their own.They are not Indians. They have too much innocent Indian blood on their hands. patriotic Political parties should start making lists of shivasena thugs, leaders and other vermin, and use their own tactics against them. After all these thugs too have homes and families. All it takes is one coordinated night of action by Patriotic Indians to exterminate the subhuman shivasena virus from India's heartland

Thackerays by Inder on 12 Feb 2008

The central Govt is so weak that they are washing their hands off the Thackeray affair and leaving it to the state Govt. State CM is so weak that he is leaving it to the police commissioner. The police commissioner invites Thackeray to his daughter's wedding. How wonderful? The poor Indian citizens are leaving Mumbai to save their skins. It reminds of the scenes of 1947 partition when Hindus and Sikhs were leaving Pakistan. Central Govt has not got the guts to declare organisations like VHP,Sena, Balrang,RSS as anti-national and illegal organisations. India needs to make a place like Guantanamo Bay to house people like Thackerays, Fatwa declaring Mullahas and Modis of this world.

Incitement to Murder by cogito_ergo... on 12 Feb 2008

The law-enforcing authorities should read Uddhav's wsarning very carefully. The meaning of threat that the outsiders will be "packed off in a parcel" is very clear: they will be KILLED. Therefore, Uddhav has incited his party workers to MURDER the "outsiders". Uddhav should be arrested immediately.

celebrating new year..is it marathi culture by kalpana on 11 Feb 2008

THERE are few Insane people who arecreating hatred and violenc and as a result, to keep things in control, we,the taxpayers' money is wasted. They have issues outsider working in mumbai, what they want should be dome to mumbaikars working outside Mumbai? They have issues that north indians celebrate their festivals and change the marathi culture, but then why marathi culture remain intact even after celebrating Western New year..? but since it is adoptation of western celebration its fine..hopeless fellow these and more hopeless state government or not taking any action due to fear of loss of vote bank. so if things remained same, someday we will have many city- countries made out of India

CENTRAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS, HOME MINISTRIES AND THE POLICE MUST SAFEGUARD THESE CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEES AND RIGHTS OTHERWISE THERE WILL BE CHAOS IN THE COUNTRY by HUM HINDUSTANI on 11 Feb 2008

Indians from one province of India living in the other integral part of India are not foreigners and have a constitutional right and guarantee to live, carry on business and earn their livelihood in any other part of the country they wish without being harassed by goondas like Raj, Bal or Uddhav Thackeray. And under this constitutional right and guarantee, it is the duty of the State and Central Governments, state and central Home Ministries and police to safeguard and protect the lives, liberty and property of the citizens. Mr Goel what you say has no logic. On the one hand you say that all other politicians including Bal Thackeray divide people on the basis of caste, religion and so on for their vote bank politics and then contradict yourself by justifying goondas like Raj Thackeray. By the same arguement, what about millions of Marathis living and working in other provinces of India? Should they be asked to go back to so-called 'Amchi Mumbai' Will Bal, Uddhav or Raj Thackeray accommodate these millions of Marathis working in other States in their homes if they are sent back to where they came from?

JUST THREE SEMI-LITERATE GOONDAS MAKING AN ASS OF THE LAWS AND HOLDING THE WHOLE NATION AND ITS PEOPLE TO RANSOM: HAVE WE ALL BECOME A NATION OF HIJDAS TO PUT UP WITH THEIR NONSENSE FOR SO LONG? HANG THESE BASTARDS FROM THE NEAREST TREES by HUM HINDUSTANI on 11 Feb 2008

Bal Thackeray, Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray are nothing but a motley group of semi-literate goondas who have become a law unto themselves, are habitual offenders and who are making an ass of the law while the spineless and Hijda sarkars at the Centre and in the States, all the home ministries and the police just sit back and watch while they play havoc with the economy and unity of the country and the lives, emotions and sentiments of millions of human beings. In all these years they have incited and have been involved in countless number of incidents of violence, assaults, arson, mayhem and murder. And with that they have violated so many Central and State laws for so long that it is time the mass media and the courts took over the role of the guardians of the nation’s conscience and safeguard the right to life, liberty, property and movement enshrined in our constitution. It is time the media takes the role of campaigners against these goondas and the courts order that both the States and Central Government authorities visit these goondas and provide the courts with a comprehensive report on the total violations that have taken place in the country due to these three goondas in all these years. The courts must find where the fault lies and should not fear to name names of all those who are hand in glove with these three goondas and also tell everyone that there will be no compromise with the laws of the land, the Constitution and the human rights of its people.

BANISH THESE GOONDAS FOREVER OR THE HISTORY WILL NOT FORGIVE THIS WHOLE NATION FOR PUTTING UP WITH THEIR DADAGIRI, GOONDAGIRI AND NONSENSE FOR SO LONG by HUM HINDUSTANI on 11 Feb 2008

All these three goondas - Bal Thackeray, Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray have first violated the laws and then justified their actions. They should be told that even one violation now would mean lengthy incarceration for them all and the political apparatus which depend on such goondas should also be told in no uncertain terms by the people, press, parliament and the courts that this will not be tolerated anymore. It is clear from all what they have done all these years - that they have created massive law and order problems which this poor nation can ill-afford because it costs millions and crores of rupees to manage the law and order situation created by their stupidity and goondagiri. If anybody obstructs any officer of the government or the law, a criminal case should be registered against him and he should be arrested. If necessary, the state and central governments should be ordered by the courts to use paramilitary forces against these goondas. It seems the Law has become an ass in the hands of such goondas. We know those who have the tendency of violating the law will go to any extent but this has now gone beyond all limits and should be banished forever. It is time for the courts to order the State and Central Governments to deal with this goondagiri with an iron hand and banish these Goondas forever from the face of this land.

SHIV SENA AND MAHABHARAT NIRMAN SENA - YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED by Mani Gyan Prakash on 11 Feb 2008

The comments in this forum on the future of the Shiv Sena and Mahabharat Nirman Sena are thought provoking. The image of the Senas in the general public is that they are intemperate in their condemnation of their perceived enemies, a readiness to resort to street methods; organising bandhs, vandalising offices of their opponents and beating up or manhandling suspected individuals. They decide what is the flavour of the season, first the Communists, then the South Indians, the Udipi hotelwalas, then the Gujaratis, the Muslims and now Bangladeshis, Biharis and UP bhaiyyas. They have to invent perceived enemies to retain their presence. To change this image is to change their very soul, they are condemned by destiny to remain in this ditch. The moderates realize this and fear the erosion of their popularity and their constituency, the middle class unemployed Maharashtrian youth. The older generation, who prospered are unwilling to pursue the same line knowing fully well that mindless violence will only bring ruin to themselves in the long run. In the meanwhile, the world around has changed. Globalisation , the telecom and internet revolutions have changed the lifestyles of those that they seek to represent. No longer is a middle class Maharashtrian youth willing to opt for the kind of jobs that the Senas wish to fight for; poorly paid jobs in the Govt run institutions. Their agenda like the Mee Mumbaikar does not gel with its image of a street fighting outfit. Their future is bleak indeed.

Mumbai by Pranoy on 11 Feb 2008

India is for everybody including Kashmir and Karala. Why can't the Govt allow non-Kashmiri people to settle in Kashmir. Why this useles media does not focus on this?. Are they bribed or threatened by Mullahs? First lest us settle Kashmir then talk Mumbai or Bangalore.

Kashmir is Jagir of every indian. by Naresh Arya on 11 Feb 2008

I 100% endorse the view of Mr. Pranoy that we should first settle the issue of Kashmir then talk about Mumbai or Bangalore. When from Kashmir to Kerala is for every body then why there are reservations about settlement of non-Kashmiri people in Kashmir. When we are seriously thinking about Mumbai, why should not we think about Kashmir. It seems to me clearly it is the weak leadership of India that same sort of trends and practices are not following in the case of Kashmir. In today's scenario we must have leaders like Sardar Ballav Bhai Patel.I think that for such leader I have plenty of hope expectations from Bhai Narendra Modi and not Mr. Advani, who is bone less leader.

Siva Sena the Hindu Terror by Suresh Shiv on 11 Feb 2008

India is not a private property of Siva Sena Leaders. Please do not be so foolishness. Dear Sena leaders, do you have any surety that you can be the Almighty? Please do not attemtpt to make indian as your Slave

Sena is a Hindu Terrorist by Suresh Shiv on 11 Feb 2008

India is not completely registered for Siva Sena. And each indian have to right to work and live anywhere in India as he/she likes. So do not take control of the Indian to Sena's dictactor ship. And befitting reply will get from the people of India as the fate of BJP. Be care.

HAHAHA by Pradeep Menon on 11 Feb 2008

Uddhav, sounds like udday son of Saddam... Good job.. you have the same future like Saddams son

idiots are always idiots! by Dr.G.G.Rajan on 11 Feb 2008

It has been proved beyond doubt that Maharashtrian voters in bulk are morons to elect such Sena outfots, whose sole aim is hatred towards non-maharashtrians.What'll happen if all the other states follow suit ?

Voters by Nitin on 11 Feb 2008

I think Rajan you need to learn to respect the wishes of all voters. This is what they want. And they are not against non-maharashtrians, it is just the UP and Biharis who want to drive marathi guys out of Mumbai.

THACKERAYS' SENAS ARE NOTHING BUT MAFIA OUTFITS by G. K. Srinivas Iyer on 11 Feb 2008

Yes, Bal Thackeray’s Shiv Sena or his fellow Goonda Raj Thackeray’s Mahabharat Nirman Sena have lost their relevance long back. They were founded and fed on hatred, they had only crocodile tears to shed for poor Maharashtrian middle class and the poor while they amassed immense land, properties and wealth for one family and some of their chamchas and kutas. The surprise is they survived all these years. In this age of globalisation, where economics is the key word, these rabble rousing party/parties have no relevance any more. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The day they tasted political power and the moment it became clear that amassing wealth under any means is their only aim, Maharashtrian middle class and the poor felt let down and they have started distancing themselves from them. It is still time for those who call themselves Marathis to wake up from the trance of these people’s opium of ‘Me Marathi Manus’ and realise that both these Senas are nothing but Mafia outfits who have taken you people on a long ride on their Merry-go-Round and have made you ‘BEWAQOOF’ AND ‘ULUS’ all these years while they have amassed fortunes beyond anybody’s dreams.

WONDERFULLY TRUE!WELL WRITTEN

BAL THACKERAY, UDDHAV THACKERAY AND RAJ THACKERAY - SADDAM HUSSEINS OF MAHARASHTRA: FINISH THESE FAMILY OF GOONDAS ONCE AND FOR ALL by BINDA THACKERAY SPEAKING FROM THE GRAVE on 11 Feb 2008

Get to know the Thackeray Family of Goondas, here and now AND FINISH THEM ONCE AND FOR ALL BEFORE THEY PLAY HAVOC WITH THE ECONOMY OF THE COUNTRY AND THE LIVES OF MILLIONS OF CITIZENS OF INDIA WHO HAVE A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO LIVE, CARRY ON BUSINESS AND EARN THEIR LIVELIHOODS IN ANY PART OF THE COUNTRY THEY WISH. 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 THE AFRICAN COUNTRIES OF KENYA AND RWANDA AND BURUNDI IN THE NAME OF TRIBE, CLAN, CASTE, LINGUISTIC OR PROVINCIAL DIFFERENCES?

EACH HAS A CRIME by Hinustani on 11 Feb 2008

BECAUSE THE EACH POLITICIAN THOUGH COME ELECTED DEMOCRATICALLY, THEY HAVE CIME OF AT LEAST ON COUNT HANGING OVER THEIR HEAD WETHER IT BE CENTER OF STATE.SO INDIA REA;;Y NEEDS A REAL CHANGE WITHIN THE SYSTEM.

Response by jay on 11 Feb 2008

Both Udhav and Raj are useless people. They are just typical politicians who want to be in power. Jobs should be given on basis of merit rather than anything else.

RE: response by Nitin on 11 Feb 2008

i don't think india wants jobs based on merit alone, if that is what you mean. I don't see anything unreasonable with local residents getting a preference. So as long as these "useless" people has masses behind them like me, we are okay.
