Pune, March 5: In an apparent bid to recapture his party's Marathi sons plank being hijacked by MNS leader Raj Thackeray, Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray on Wednesday targeted Biharis saying they were an "unwanted lot" in all parts of the country.

"They are not wanted in Southern India, Assam and also Punjab and Chandigarh. The Biharis have antagonised local population wherever they had settled. The UP-Bihari MPs have shown their ingratitude towards Mumbai and Maharashtra with an anti-Marathi tirade in Parliament," Thackeray said in an editorial in party mouthpiece Samana.

The "Bihari" leaders, accusing people of Mumbai of harbouring anti-national sentiments are trying to stir again the fire of anti-north Indian feelings in Maharashtra and should realise that the exercise would only put their brethren in Maharashtra at the receiving end, Thackeray said in a veiled suggestion of a backlash.

MPs from Bihar and UP had raised the issue of anti- north Indian stand of MNS, that led to wide spread violence in Maharashtra.

The arrest of Raj Thackeray following his anti-north Indian sentiments last month had put the Shiv Sena in a difficult spot as the breakaway faction led by the nephew of the Sena chief appeared to be drawing political mileage in the state at the cost of the parent party.

Sena executive President Uddhav Thackeray recently asserted that it was only his party that was wedded to the cause of Marathis and nobody else.

Referring to Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, whom he had earlier dared to perform Chhatpooja in Mumbai, the Sena leader in his editorial, said those who have turned Bihar into a hell should not try to teach nationalism to Mumbai and Maharashtra.

Thackeray's comments came even as the Maharashtra police served a show cause notice to Raj Thackeray asking him to explain as to why the gag order enforced on him following the party's anti-north Indian agitation should not be extended.

The MNS leader was in Pune when the notice was served at his Mumbai residence on Tuesday.

Who Is Raj Thakrey by Harshwardhan on 08 Apr 2008

Who is RAJ THACKERAY - An Indian, A Maharashtrian, A Marathi or A Criminal ?? Who has given him a right to misbehave with Indians who belongs to other part of our country like Bihar, UP etc. He is giving all these low mentality comments and doing illegal activities only for his political benefits because If he really wants to save Marathi's Culture of Maharshtra then he must respect every Indians whether they belong to Bihar, UP or any other state. And in the same way Bihari should also respect all Maharashtrians.All maharashtrian must keep it remember that Maharashtra is place of Chatrapati Shivaji who was an Indian. Every people of our country salute him with regards whether they belongs to any state. But due to Thackeray's such type of activities he is trying to destroy image of Chatrapati Shivaji which is impossible to do. we should keep it remember that still all of us are INDIAN and we should maintain our Indian Culture which is the best example of Unity in Diversity.

DANGEROUS SIGNS OF HITLERISM IN THE THACKERAY CLAN by International Anti-Fascists League on 07 Mar 2008

George Orwell had said once that when someone calls Smith a fascist, what he means is, “I hate Smith.” By calling Smith a fascist, you force Smith to deny he’s a sympathizer of Hitler and Mussolini. By this defination, Shiv Sena’s Bal and Uddhav Thackeray and Mahabharat Nirman Sena’s Raj Thackeray are three figures who can be called Fascists, not only because they are the most hated and loathed figures throughout the nation but also because all three are admirers of Hitler. Hitler killed millions of innocent men, women and children by putting them in the gas chambers. Just as Hitler hated the Jews, Bal, Uddhav and Raj Thackeray hate all those Indians and Hindus (not to talk of Muslims) who were not brought into this world by God as Marathis, as if we all have a choice as to where or in which race we are born. As a concept, writes Arnold Beichman of the Hoover Institute, “fascism ... has no intellectual basis; its founders did not even pretend to have any. Hitler’s ravings in Mein Kampf ... Mussolini’s boastful balcony speeches, all can be described, in the words of Roger Scruton, as ‘an amalgam of disparate conceptions.” Richard Pipes considers Stalinism and Hilterism to be siblings of the same birth mother: “Bolshevism and fascism were heresies of socialism.” Since the 1930s, “fascist” has been a term of hate and abuse used by the Left against the Right, as in the Harry Truman campaign. In 1964, Martin Luther King Jr claimed to see in the Goldwater campaign “dangerous signs of Hitlerism.” And in India today, all Indians see these “dangerous signs of Hitlerism” in Bal, Uddhav and Raj Thackeray.

Bihar Issue by Rajan Munankar on 06 Mar 2008

I congratulate Bal Thackerey for the article. This Shameless Bihari Leaders like Prabhu Nath Singh and Laloo Prasad Yadav say in the Parliament that minds of the people living in Mumbai are rotten and then at the very next day say in the biased News Channels like IBN7, News24 that they will urge more and more Biharis to go and settle in Mumbai. By this their plan is to get votebanks in Mumbai at the cost of the poor Bihari people who has to live away from their family members to earn their living as these shameless Bihari Leaders are incapable of providing the poor bihari people job in their own land.

Bihar Issue by Rajan Munankar on 06 Mar 2008

Everybody in the Parliament is talking high about the Column of Bal Thackerey. But nobody is speaking about what JD(U) leader Prabhu nath Singh said in the Parliament. How can a Mumbaikar bear what Prabhunath Singh said. If these UP and Bihari leaders really think that thoughts of people in Mumbai are rotten. then they should urge all the UP and Biharis not to go to Mumbai and rotten their minds staying in Mumbai. But they won't do it. As they want to throw the UP and Bihari People out from Bihar.

Neglect of Bihar by K Sanjiv on 06 Mar 2008

All Indians must be free to live anywhere in the country but politicians from Bihar and UP must ask themselves why so many from their constituencies migrate for a better life. Lalu Prasad presided over 15 years of neglect of this state so rich in natural resources.

A good opportunity for politicians from Bihar and UP to promise something constructive. by Abhijit on 06 Mar 2008

Politicians from UP and Bihar should take the challenge to make a better-than-Mumbai city in Bihar or UP, where people from all over Indian will flock for a better future, all Indians will be treated equally; Tamil or Maratahi or Bengali will be freely used without any violence. I am looking forward to hear such a promise and then real action from UP-Bihar politicians to make this dream a reality.

Well said by Gujipak on 06 Mar 2008

Well said my friend. Is Laloo or Nitish Kumar or Mulayam or Amitabh's best friend, Amar Singh listening?

Time to wakeup by Rajan on 06 Mar 2008

People of Bihar and UP have to wake up and see what their politicians have done to their state. Nalanda in Bihar was once the center of world education but now it is in ruins. Ordinary citizens have to ask hard questions to their government.-why is it that business don’t come to their states-why there are no pro business policies-why don’t Nitish Kumar and Mayawati go to European and North America countries to attract new businesses? Look at southern sates they aggressively seek investment in their states.-why cant the state government provide basic amenities to its citizens-why does the state government not provide safe environment to its citizens and business-why does the judicial system not work as intended-why is there less education and more violence in schools and colleges

Bihari politicians by Rajshree on 06 Mar 2008

Bihari and UP politicians should first take care of their own houses. They have destroyed their own states with rampant corruption and violence. Any ordinary citizen who speaks against Laloo will be killed or chased out. These goondas of Bihar and UP have no right to criticize other states.

Bihar Issue by Rajan Munankar on 06 Mar 2008

Well said. The State of Bihar has become the state of Goonda Politicians who throw their own poor Bihari people out of Bihar

thackeray -mumbai-bihari by anonymus on 05 Mar 2008

thackeray is xenophobic to extreme and irrational to hilt.he vents his ire at his poor hungry countrymen who are afflicted with penury and disgrace.so great of him to show his power on such meek people who are trying to make their ends meet.being such a self proclaimed lion why does not he attack politicians of status like laloo ,rajnath ,nitish,mulayam singh,amar singh to whom he definetely pales in comparison.decimating hungry poor people in your den is easy enough.try it somewhere else.he will definitely feel for his crotch.

Please Dont be paranoid by Amar Singh on 06 Mar 2008

comeon buddy !!! dONT BE ILLOGICAL. Thackreay in not out there to hurt anybody...so why would he say anything to these stupid leaders. What he means is that the problem if unnatural and the indiscriminate migrations shoud be dealt with a sense of urgency. I belong to Punjab and we too have a tremendous problem from the bhayyias who live here but refuse to adopt the Punjabi way of life and cause the social tension. I think country should better pay heed to what he says and should take corrective measures to undo the deleopmental imbalance in among the states.

Thackreys by Dinesh on 05 Mar 2008

I agree with mr. PP Talwar. The crooked Thackrey clan is really helping Biharis and UPians. It is high time people of Bihar and Up must assett themsleves to ask their representatives to get industry and other amenities to enable them to get jobs locally. Why a bihari needs to travel to Mumbai for JOB? all self respecting people of Bihar must come together on this issue.

Bal Thackary dividing the country on region, community nd case bsais by P.P. TALWAR on 05 Mar 2008

Bal Thckary being too old and sick is suffering from mania of promoting regionalism and castesim in Maharashtra. By pioneering the casue of Marathi speaking Maharashtrians, he is sowing the seeds of hatred, enemity and ill-will amongst communities which may boomrang on Bal Thackary himself. India being a secular soverign Republic, its constitution provides freedom for all Indians, irrespective of ethnic, caste and creed to settle anywhere in India, seeking livelihood. By targetting innocent north Indians, forcing them to flee for safety, leaving behind their herths and homes in Mumbai and other parts of Maharashtra, Bal Thackray is doing great disservice to Marahti and the Masharashtrians who may be the ultimate losers, if this dngerous trend of dividing the country on ethnic, community and region basis as preached by him continues.

Bal Thackary dividing the country on region, community nd case bsais by AG on 07 Mar 2008

Truth by Anil Sisodia on 05 Mar 2008

Bal Thackeray is speaking truth! Truth is always bitter!

Divided we fall, united we stand by jati hoon on 05 Mar 2008

Raj Thackeray and co; has forgotten what happened when Mahatama Gandhi was shot dead by a Maharashtran, no Maharashtran was welcomed in other parts of india,"he who forget the past, is condemned for future." Wake up you hate mongers and help the country and its down trodden people for better world.We are all childreen in this school of universe, learning to co-exist.Put your brain to improve country lot not destroy it. "Hate leads to Hate." Learn India's HISTORY, stop dividing it, Shivaji, fought all his life to unite it.Read his army who's who and it will open your jaundice eyes.
