I am with u Shah Rukh dont worry.............
Dear Readers, I guess the real meaning of Freedom and Liberty is lost in so called Maha -rastra. Brand RSS as Political Terrorist. SRK is very righteous Man. No body should sit in front of his house like beggars demanding change in SRK's Freedom of Speech. Take Military action against Pakistan and RSS terrorists.
Indeed Mumbai is for Indians but Why dont people like you & congress shout Kashmir for Indians & allow people from different part of the country to settle in Kashmir?Why kashmiri pandits have been made to give up there land & why no talks about the same?Double standards.
I think these peopls should be declared as terrorists and their organisations as terrorist organizations and should be barred from contesting elections
THESE stupids dnt knw wat is right and wat is wrong and take fingers on others and because of money they go so cheap v all r thr with u king khan
These people doesnt want to make frindship two other country they only knw to harm people we r with sharuk wht he does is right thing he dnt trouble other like those organisations
We expect such popular figures to use their Will,Dil, Dimak & influences to counsel their brethren across the border to be human & not to act like demon in the name of God & Religion. This is the true service they can do to the society which loves them so much & not offering flowers to killers.
I think Thackeray and his men is creating talibanism in this country. He should be extradited to a place where there is only his senas and not Indians. He is lucky to be born in a democratic country like India that protect his life and activities and its unlucky for us to say him as an Indian who is against the people of his own country. We Indians are ashamed of you Mr.Thackeray.
I think Shiv Sena has taken the contract to teach Marathi to the people of Maharastra.
Shiv sena is behaving like Vaner sena (Monkey army).Jumping from one tree to another and doing nothing.
Shiv sena is not a party,rather a gang of duffers lead by a world class duffer "Bal Thakrey". They don't have brains. On one side thet are throwing out north indians from Mumbai & on the other hand they are threatening Austrailian players for the treatment of mostly north indians in Austrailia. If really they are "INDIAN" at their heart,then how they dare to oppose the presence of north indians in Mumbai. If there is even a single person in shiv sena,which i think is not there, who can answer this point should reply,otherwise what i have written stand accepted by that gang.
What a pity! We are supposed to be a Democratic Country endorsing freedom of speech. In fact, don't we take pride in the same? But,alas, we have come a long way from being the land of Gandhi. People like Bal Thackerey have no tolerance towards anyone who has a different opinion than theirs. Who does he think he is? A God who can not be wrong? Or a "Gunda" who would not let himself be wronged? I think time has come for stupid, ignorant and arrogant Thackeray to be a responsible Indian first and Mumbaikar later. Even when he shows-off his "Indianness" it sounds more like jingoism. He has his illiterate "gundas" (including his MPs, MLAs, party-workers) ready to act violently and disrupt life of Indian citizens. I think the Union and State Governments need to show better governance against him. The respectable parties should rise and think beyond petty politics. I am sure we have something in our constitution to curb and bind this loony from spitting out vile every time he opens his mouth.
Khan will always be the first person to die for the nation.
These things are going out of control. these guys are brainless. But what bout Govt. State govt. can biased. But what about central? They are responsible for integrity of india. Dr.Singh should take firm action against these attacks on youth icons like sachin and shahrukh.
This lunatic Thackerey is a national threat, either put him behind the bars or show his whereabouts to US army for a drone mission.
Nothing, just a cheap publicity stunt by cheap actors. aamir khan said similar thing on paki player, shiv sena neither tore poster of 3 idiots, nor they blocked the show of 3 idiot. Instead they show 2 idiot aamir and srk. 3 idiot is running in 80 cinemas of mumbai in its fifth weekend. since MNIK gonna release, so they r creating buzz, playing with fool indian audience sentiment.
I think, rather evryone thinks that BAL Tahkrey's Shivsena, nd others like them are shame to our country.. they should be killed 1st befor terriorist.. they liv within country nd are actin as catalyst fr breakin unity of the country. They shud b hanged in public..thuu..whre d hell ws thakrey and his men wen terriorost attacked on 26/11..it'as north indian forc who came 4 survival of mumbaikars..lets unit togethr nd destroy such evil forces. to hell wid them!!
I can't believe that this is the man who is saying australian a racist and pledge to stop them playing in IPL in Mumbai. But he doesnt relise that what he is doing is also a racism toward own countrymen. I hope ppeople of Mumbai and INDIA stand up against this idiot, and wipe him out of society,.
is there no curbing this high handedness in our country ?these shivsena wallahs are bent on dividing our society on parochial and communal lines. and the authorities seldom take any action.we badly need a government that acts.earlier on it was dilip now its shahrukh khan.mumbai is known evrywhere for dilip and khan and not these thackrays
The time is not far away when the goons of Shiv sena and the organisation itself are gonna be banned as a terrorist outfit.
The attacks on north Indians in maharashtra is the outcome of poor state of mind of sena chief Mr.Bal Thakrey, if the north indians r not allowed to live in mumbai Mr. Bal Thakrey has no right 2 live in India.
How about Shiv Sena realising that India first and Mumbai second. Every citizen is first an Indian and then anyone else. What is wrong with any Indian having the freedom to settle anywhere in India,and if it is Mumbai, so be it. If you cannot get by without speaking Marathi, you will learn it. People living in Mumbai are as proud as the next person in Mumbai wherevever they are from irrespective of the time they have been there. Why this controversy is being propagated, is really strange. Like any large city, Mumbai has people of many backgrounds and all should be welcome.Should Hindi films not be based in Mumbai? Should only Marathi films be made in Mumbai? Marathi is a great language and people who speak it are just like others who speak other languages. All are equal in the eyes of the law.
Bombay is not a property Bal Tackery/Shiva Sena or Marathi people and also it is not good to Bal Thackery's health in this age (one leg in the burial ground and one on the earth). Like all other states Maharashtra or Bombay for all Indians Bal and all Marathis must accepts this.
These idiots dont seem to care that the latest attacks on Indians in Australia were carried out by Indians
