Abu Azmi slapped by MNS MLA for taking oath in Hindi

Mumbai:
MNS legislators man-handled Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Azmi for taking
oath in Hindi.
Maharashtra House suspends four MNS MLAs for 4 years
In an unprecedented incident, MNS MLAs on Monday attacked Samajwadi
Party legislator Abu Azmi inside the state assembly for taking oath in
Hindi and not in Marathi marking a violent debut for Raj Thackeray's
party in the House.
Stung by what Chief Minister Ashok Chavan called as
"goondagardi"(hooliganism) by Maharashtra Navnirman Sena never
witnessed in the House, the Assembly acted tough and passed a
resolution suspending four MNS members from the House for four years
within hours after the chaos. The MLAs were also accused of
misbehaving with a woman MLA.
The resolution moved by parliamentary affairs minister Harshvardhan
Patil to suspend Shishir Shinde, Ramesh Vanjale, Ram Kadam and Vasant
Geete was approved by voice vote.
Stating that hooliganism will not be tolerated, Chavan also did not
rule out action against MNS chief Raj Thackeray saying this will be
taken if the video footage of his reported comments outside the
Assembly showed he had instigated his party MLAs.
The three-year-old MNS, which returned 13 members to the House, all
first timers, unleashed chaos during the oath taking by the new MLAs
in a turbulent start to the maiden session of the 12th state
Assembly.
The proceedings in the backdrop of the so-called diktat by Raj
Thackeray that all members must take oath in Marathi or face
consequences went on smoothly until Azmi's turn came when he was
manhandled by MNS members who pushed and punched him for insisting
that he will take oath only in Hindi.
Ram Kadam allegedly slapped and hit Azmi on the chest and shoulders
while Ramesh Vanjale snatched the microphone and uprooted the podium
as a result of which the paper from which he was reading out his oath
fell.
As Azmi began reading out the oath in Hindi, the MNS members tried to
shout him down and asked him to switch over to Marathi. When Azmi
remained defiant, they menacingly advanced towards him.
The SP leader, who picked the paper up and continued reading out the
oath, was seen engaged in a heated argument with the MNS legislators
as the House was drowned in din leading to a 30-minute adjournment.
As Azmi was being roughed up, some MNS members were seen carrying
banners and shouting pro-Marathi slogans. MNS MLAs surrounded Azmi
from all sides when the House had hardly been adjourned.
Ashok Chavan and energy minister Ajit Pawar rushed to calm the frayed
tempers.
Speaking to reporters outside the House, an unfazed Azmi defended his
decision of taking oath in Hindi and said he had done nothing to
warrant such action by the MNS MLAs.
But an unrepentant Ram Kadam justified his action saying Azmi's
insistence on taking oath in Hindi betrayed his lack of respect for
Marathi language and people.
The incident evoked widespread condemnation across the political
spectrum with demands being made for stern action against the erring
MNS MLAS.
Ashok Chavan said Constitution of India allowed members to take oath
in any language. The four suspended members will not be allowed to
enter the premises of the Assembly in Mumbai and Nagpur, he said.
Buoyed by the impressive Assembly debut of his party, Raj had recently
announced his legislators would ensure that all MLAs took oath in
Marathi taking the politics of regional chauvnism straight to the
Assembly.
"If any MLA does not take oath in Marathi, the House will see what
happens," Raj had threatened. Raj issued a reminder today, asking all
287 MLAs in the House to take oath in Marathi.

50 years of Maharashtra
By: Harshal | Monday , 9 Nov '09 20:28:26 PM Reply | Forward
This is the year when we complete 50 years as united Marathi State
(though the parts of Central Province which had sizable Marathi
speaking people and other chunk of sizable equidistant people). The
Oath in Marathi was supposed to commemorate this. Abu played it to his
gallery by defying it, Manase played it to their gallery by opposing
it violently. Both Congress and NCP were aware of this, and did not
stop it so that they can ask rightfully for the North Indian votes in
coming BMC election. Shivsena and BJP do not know how to tackle this.
This is the politics of this. Well, the suspension was due, and it
happened. One thing that needs to put in perspective is the sequence
of events. Section of media is saying that Abu showed chappals to
Manase MLAs and they reacted. If that is the case, and people are
saying they saw the footage, then he too deserves the suspension. With
these suspensions, I hope that, the Assembly will be able to carry out
its business in much peace and tranquility.

A National Shame
By: LK | Monday , 9 Nov '09 20:10:17 PM
Marathis are consistently prooving to be the most racist community in
india by silently supporting the goons of Raj Thackrey, Bombay....errr
Mumbai no longer wins the heart of an Indian..shame on you by
talibanizing the whole Marathi Manus issue, this red tape is not going
to last too long, hatred always begets hatred, by disrespting Hindi
which is indeed the common link among we all Indians MNS has insulted
all of them, these kind of regional parties are not doing anything
good to the forth comming generation, is EC listening ??
Marathi
By: Kumar | Monday , 9 Nov '09 19:50:13 PM
I am a maharashtrain and I am reading lot of venom by English speaking
Hindi people.I do not know whether they are against Raj Thakare or
want to support Abu Azmi.The factual position is that this a political
battle played by politicians from UP and Bihar.No marathi is against
hard working Bhaiyya, but totally opposed to political ambitions of
Azmi,Krupashankar Singh,Lalus, Nirupams and company.My rquest to my
freinds from N.India is that pl.find out the antecedents of these
people whom they are supporting.and find out what they have done for
the place from where they have come.See how Krupashankar singh made
millions using N.Indian vote bank and how they are fooling
N.Indians.Do they have any love for Hindi? Absolutely No.It is a ruse
used by these people to put people against one another.And who gives
two hoots to Raj Thakare.He is a creation Of congress because even
Maratha congressman from western Maharastra feel threatened by
political clout of N.indians politicians.
Democracy
By: Shailendra | Monday , 9 Nov '09 19:44:31 PM
I would disapprove if not despise of such behaviour by MNS Members and
when I state this,it is not because of the physical assault or the
Hooliganism that errupted at the ceremony but because it had nothing
to do with the Marathi Pride agenda that MNS has taken up for so
long.Mr. Thackarey had many a times stated that he is up for marathi
up bringing and that he is not the enemy of Non-Marathis however this
action by his MLAs is in total contarvention of this stand. Further as
a Marathi I suppose this was a Miserable show on their part because
Marathi Up-bringing doesnot mean pulling some one down . It merely
means upgrading Marathi and its followers ..That is just my opinion.
RAJ should be punished
By: Ashok Patel | Monday , 9 Nov '09 19:35:21 PM
Not only shameful, but a subject to think and decide to take action
against whoever are against the national spirit. The first thing
everybody in this country should understand they are ' Indian' and it
is there there responsibility to honor the national spirit with
'Rastra Bhasha' and ' Rastra Geet' The regional political prties like
MNS, and other whoever in other region trying to concil their
political power on the base of reginalism and religious. 'RAJ' is one
of them who have desire to come on national front with the help on
'GOONS'. Look at USA, the country have residents of almost almost all
country in the world. But all of them have to respect country first.
We the Indian Nationals after 60 years, not understanding the
importance of national spirit, and unity. I think this is a time of
taking a hard action to prevent such regional and religious GOONS,
Punish them so that such parties in any part of country learn lesson.

come in maharashtra and settled down here ? have u people ever thought

language ?have people ever fight against them? think before saying

THUGS OF NAV NAVNIRMAN SENA
By: M Arun | Monday , 9 Nov '09 19:33:47 PM
THE CRIMINAL BEHAVIOUR OF MNS LEGISLATORS IN IS NOT ACCEPTABLE BY THE
PEOPLE OF INDIA THE SAMWADI PARTY'S DELIBERATE PROVOCATIVE BEHAVIOUR
TO INCITE VIOLENCE SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED. BOTH HAVE TO BE PUNISHED.
PEOPLE FROM BIHAR, UTTAR PRADESH, & OTHER HINDI SPEAKING REGIONS NEED
TO LEARN OTHER INDIAN LANGUAGES & ENGLISH TO BROADEN THEIR KNOWLEDGE
TO BUILD A STRONG INDIA AND SHOULD SHUN SELF-CENTRED POLITICIANS WHO
SHOULD BE BRANDED AS THE WORST ENEMIES OF THE INDIAN REPUBLIC.
pravasi
By: johna | Monday , 9 Nov '09 19:32:21 PM
Pathetic..Are we in the 21st century? Thought we were free since 1947
as a nation united??In over Half a century the religious fanatics and
the politicans made India more divided than united.The averge working
person is poor and the 5 percent or so politicians and religios goons
dictate the norms. Thought "Bombay" (Mumbai) was the gateway to
India.The young generation must wake up and revolt against these
traitors to make the country united.Can we just look as an "India" not
as marathi or punjabi or gujarathi? If anyone out there has that
"Indian" feeling,please wake up and smell the coffee before it is too
late..
Azmi
By: Rammohan | Monday , 9 Nov '09 19:31:19 PM
I think he bought that hit. I am south Indian and I think these big
shots shall respect the local sensitivities. If in Bihaqr will they
allow oath in Tamil and in Tamil Nadu will they allow oath in Hindi.
No one even dare to do that. Mahrastrian soft attitude is the reason,
next state this problem will have is Karanataka where all languages
are freely used other than Kannada and it will get boiled one day.
CommentsPost comment255 Comments |Far more important issues to deal
By: Indian first | Monday , 9 Nov '09 19:30:20 PM
As a citizen of India, I strongly think there are far more important
issues which need to be dealt with, than asserting languages as the
national language or not. The political parties can think about
providing safer environments to women, children, senior citizens,
better roads, cleaner environs, easier education based on true
merit ...there are so many important things to discuss and implement.
How worthwhile is the struggle for language? Language is a means to
convey our thoughts, it is just a medium ... no language should
overpower the other.
MNS attack abu azmi
By: Saurabh Agarwal | Monday , 9 Nov '09 19:24:32 PM
I will term this incident good for India. We all are living in false
beliefs of single nation. We fight for regionalism, religion, casteism
and no. of other ism, and show hollow unity to world. Its high time we
should create a law where only a person belong to particular state can
get a job in that state, can bought a property in that state, and
person belong to other states can travel to that state only after
getting visa frm that state, and that to have certain limit.
Aren't Maharastra part of Indian territory?
By: Firdaus | Monday , 9 Nov '09 19:18:45 PM
Taking law in own hand and assulting or abusing some one for any
reasons is illigal under Indian constitution for whatso ever be the
reasons. Here, we are seeing law makers or hooligons, not abided by
teh law and hitting someone even though that person is excersising his
fundamental rights that it to in National Language of India.MNS have
another option to run a movement demand for a referundum on making it
compulsory that person only certified as Marathi by MNS can enter into
the assembly? With the same reasoning of Thakeray Company, they
shoould not be allowed to go out of Maharastra and not be allowed to
be treated by any doctor who is not Maharastrian.We whould surely
start taking steps to ban the political or other outfits who try to
mislead people on relegion, race, region be it more Muslaims, Hindu or
any one.
Marathi Asmita
By: Parag | Monday , 9 Nov '09 19:10:00 PM
By rule all Maharashtra state govt.employees must pass the litracy
taste for Marathi language, all schools has got Marathi as coupalsory
language also. If the pepoles who are elected,staying in Maharashtra
since so long time & making the image to serve local peoples. They
must pass the Marathi litracy Tast or else must be disqualified from
their post as they cant serve for local man. Some one must teach this
& so MNS has taken a lead to start the era. But still the way thaey
have chosen was very rough.
Abu Azmi slapped
By: kuldeep | Monday , 9 Nov '09 19:09:39 PM
Shame On MNS. All these MLAs and thier conspirators must be booked and
made to pay for their acts.. There are lot of marathis living and
working outside Maharashtra... Why Raj does not travel outside and
experience the consequence of mindless actions.
where are we heading
By: Manish | Monday , 9 Nov '09 19:07:36 PM
Where are we heading with all such dirt being spread around by dirts
like Raj thakeray and his goons. Today an MLA has been slapped, what
about tomorrow his goons will thrash people on road for speaking in
Hindi. Day after that someone will get thrashed in Bangalore for not
speaking kannada. Is there a well defined list of things one should do
"to give respect to local culture"?? I hope if Raj thackeray makes
such a list it will contain bowing in front of his house for all those
who are in mumbai.
SHAMEFUL
By: J P SHAH | Monday , 9 Nov '09 19:07:11 PM
Real Marathi manoos would hang his head in shame for having elected
such persons as their representatives. This is by no means Marathi
Asmita. Our democracy will fade away sooner than later. India urgently
needs reform process for its politicians who would otherwise harm the
common Indian more than Pakistani terrorists, who attack once in a
while.
Kick those MNS MLAs out of the Assembly House! – Part 2
By: Sujeet Ramanna, Bombay | Monday , 9 Nov '09 19:05:54 PM
I think Abu Azmi should continue like this and I am sure all the MLAs
of MNS will be suspended and that will be sweet music to everyone
%u2019s ears in this city! Cause it will be good riddance to bad
rubbish!. These people who want to divide this city in terms of
language should be dealt firmly with! Of course the shameless R R
Patil is back (that too on the eve of the 26/11 anniversary!), he will
just make non-sensical statements like %u2018Badi badi shehron mein
choti choti batein hoti rehti hain%u2019 shaking his head like a
bobblehead doll when confronted by attacks by these MNS goons. And
will arrest some innocent bar girl or some other stupid moral policing
move to show that he is working as a Home minister of this state and
will hide under his mom%u2019s skirt when a 26/11 like attack happens.
The days of the fascist and the divisive forces of this country are
numbered. Lets rise against these stupid people!
Next Operation Bluestar countdown begins?
By: Ajay Nath | Monday , 9 Nov '09 18:50:46 PM
Does next Bhindarwale has reincarnated in bombay(or sorry mumbai)? I
appeal all Indians either they are intellectuals, media personality,
or person of any walk of life that should equivocally condemn this
incindent of national shame and start boycotting this stooge of
regionalism. I appeal Election Commission of India that they
immediately ban this anti-national party and appropriate legal should
be taken against the perpretrators of this crime.
Operation Bluestar won't Happen to Hindus
By: Jas | Monday , 9 Nov '09 19:56:57 PM
No such operation would take place in India against Raj as he is a
Hindu. Such action are taken against minorities only in modern India.
People like Thackereys and many other self-proclaimed nationalist are
alive only becasue they are Hindus. Otherwise there is no good reason
why fair and self respecting nation would not eliminate such elements.
I know it sound crude, but sadly it is the truth that majority of
Hindus are quite comfortable with.
Enemies of Hindustan
By: Bharat | Monday , 9 Nov '09 19:51:52 PM
When ugly incidents such as this takes place, the PM, who is the de
facto ruler of the nation should immediately intervene and order a
cabinet meeting to make legislation on such matters. The actions of
MNS will lead only to disintegration of the country. The issue needs
to be investigated whether MNS is receiving money from enemies of the
nation whose malicious intention will be break-up of the country. PM
is requested to declare that anywhere in India the OATH/PLEDGE could
be taken either in Hindi, state language or English. Everybody has the
right to choose one. MNS MLAs involved alongwith their leader should
be thrown into jail for atleast 10 years without bail or parole, and
no case should be conducted in courts to avoid waste of time and
energy. Such punishments should serve as warning to those who have
plans to engage in such anti national activities. Jai Hind.
Right or Wrong
By: Anmol | Monday , 9 Nov '09 18:50:36 PM
What and who is right and what and who is wrong will only be told by
time. The actions of today will be mirrored a few years later. That is
the time when we would retrospect as things would have unfurled and
laid themselves bare. The Pakistani Mujahideen were heroes when they
were fighting the USSR a few years back and today they are despised.
Time the great leveler has laid them in the open for every one to see
Thats why what Rajs goons are doing and what Abu Azmis action reaps -
we will come to know only later and we will have all the time to
regret/be happy in leisure After all when Bhindrawale came to
limelight we never knew that what a threat he would become to Hindu
Sikh unity
Tragedy
By: Sudhir Dube | Monday , 9 Nov '09 18:49:55 PM
My self called this Tragedy that we people of UP & Bhiar Doent have
same that a people giving Bad words not bother to slap us also. But
our State Chief Minister is or other Politician whoever are they right
now working or Earlier they had worked but they are so worst that they
had not made any progress in the state the people will stop
migrating.Now I want to tell only one thing that all the young blood
has to come together for the Development of U.P. This is the time my
freinds when we will wakeup and for what we are waiting now. comeon
freind this is the time to ask the politician what they are preaching
on their top of their voice. This is not a mistake of Raj this is our
mistake that we doesnt have an mind to thing. where the world is going
and we are receiving an Insult from this people. Is this is right and
how long we are going to bear all this. A time will come when raj will
realise at present he is a frog in a well roaming around in that only.
Mr. Raj another world is their.

Shame
By: Sushant | Monday , 9 Nov '09 18:43:22 PM
Its very simple friend, if i m in other state i have respect there
religion , culture & language. We have different states with different
languages, if a person like Abu azmi who can take oath in marathi,
that means he dont know marathi or he has done the same to hurt
someones feelings. If he dont know marathi he cant understand help the
local crowd how he can understand there problems. Is he really there
to help the local people or the tourist/ outsiders who think that
mumbai is mayanagari.I beleive he he is human being and he has the
right to express his feeling in any language, but if he elected for a
perticular state than he must be proved to be maharashtrain(person who
states in maharasthan). I will respect each any every person who will
respect my language and my culture no matter from which state he is.
This is call true indian. Dont make it political issue
Really?
By: Doesitmatter | Monday , 9 Nov '09 18:42:43 PM
Another example of extremism. I guess a deliberate attempt to sabotage
the peace in the state, not to mention putting another stigma of MNS.
How far can MNS go with this wild, uncivilized behavior? Does the
youth care that MNS slapped a representative of the common man? Have
they yet again showed that they belong to the uneducated masses who
have some how achieved a place in politics and they can now show off
their power? Would taking an oath in Marathi improve the inflation
rate? What message are we giving out here, not only to the rest of
India but the world which is keeping India and Mumbai especially,
under a constant microscope? That we are racist towards our National
Language. So people in the West or Australia, keep being racist with
us, because that is how we like to break bread each day. Such a shame!
About low grade politician
By: fakhrealam | Monday , 9 Nov '09 18:40:10 PM
What a shame full status for our politicians they were slaping each
others it is not good to slap samajwadi president and MLA for taking
oath in Hindi. Hindi is first language of India and indian must know
hindi first then their regional language of mother toungue. Hindi is
not any another country language it is pure Indian language.
MNS- THREAT To INDIA
By: Aquarian 08 | Monday , 9 Nov '09 18:38:21 PM
MNS should be taken as a threat to India and be banned. Such people
have no right to live in the country. Wonder how utilise their limited
energies in just thibking & planning the most absurd things-are they
totally insane??
English, not Hindi should be the National Language
By: Desi Pundit | Monday , 9 Nov '09 18:35:54 PM
This is one time I can find fault with MNA people. Regional languages
should not be suppressed or insulted in favour of Hindi. Just because
some low life%u2019s make just over 50% of the population of India,
doe not mean they should impose their language on the rest of people
of India in the name of national language. English is the only
language that would be acceptable as national language to all regions
of India, if at all India has to have a 'National Language'. It may
not make the jingoists of BJP/RSS ilk happy but India should not care
about those idiots in the first place. P.S- Only if Punjabis could do
something like this to the SOBs who live in Punjab and claim their
mother tongue is Hindi.
Is there any other alternate???
By: rajesh | Monday , 9 Nov '09 18:30:15 PM
We should respect to all regional as well as our national languages.
This mishap could have been avoided easyly. I think it was a planned
game. MNS should opt for Gandhigiri, people will give more support &
respect... But they should not take law in their hand.
Divide and Rule
By: Indian | Monday , 9 Nov '09 18:26:48 PM
This was expected from Raj. His language rhetorics catapulted him to
prominence in Maharashtra politics. Expect more such acts in time to
come as it would definitely help people like Raj, who want to derive
political mileage by errecting a language barrier among people.

MNC Slapping
By: Kumar | Monday , 9 Nov '09 18:24:00 PM
This kind of extreme regionalism for political gains is the biggest
enemy of the nation as India. Such periods of regionalism was the
reason for plundering the country by Uzbecks(Babur-Mughal),Persians
(Shersha),Pathan(Ahmed Shah), Brits(East India Co),Dutch,
Potughese...etc. Raj and MNC are antinational, he has no interest in
Marathi(Hmself from MP), but his political gain to outsmart his uncle
and Udhav.
why was he slaped?
By: DEEPAK | Monday , 9 Nov '09 18:18:58 PM
The reason to slap him was because he delivered the speech in our
national language or because he didnt use his regional language of
state..why was he slaped?
are we forgetting that we are indian first !!!!!!!
By: yoggita | Monday , 9 Nov '09 18:10:30 PM
Its amazing how in India, some politician can play with the sentiments
of simple indian people and use them to create partitions .The same
way around 58 years back Mr Jinnah in the name of religion played with
the sentiments of people and was able to create Pakistan. Are we
forgetting that we are first Indians .... I emphasise Indians .... all
of those people who in any way instigate or impose regional feelings
on people should be made to remember that Maharashtra means A great
place... hoping also of great people ( not such small minded people
who cannot accomodate others).

On this day, 9/11, when Barlin wall came down, world became united
against religious terrorism, here is an Indian terrorist going scot
free even after assaulting the core value of this country. Just watch,
nothing is going to happen to Raj or his hungry street dogs. The whole
country is hostage to this kind of anti socials. I am telling, the
fellow who unseated the rostrum is the elected one from Kharagwasla,
Pune. He is the one who dons 2Kg on himself from his honestly earned
money. God only can save this nation.

Thank you All, This is our(Middle and lower class people of U.P. &
Bihar) fate. All powerful Indians (including Politicians, Higher class
and top officials of U.P & Bihar) have equal rights to slap us and
mock us. There is No Industrialization which can boost U.P. & Bihar
economy.Politicians are not responsible for this, We the people of f
U.P & Bihar are responsible. Because We have a corrupt system. We
cannot talk in a language of regionalism because it is feared that it
will destroy fabric of India. Wherever we go we need to learn their
language. Why in U.P. and Bihar they don't teach other indian language
excepting Hindi if young workforce will migrate as laborer in other
part of India.

Yes Ashish u are right... U are responsible for it bcoz u dont unite n

No matter how much u cry for situation in UP n bihar.. u r responsible
for the bad condition of these states. History has shown us many
times, when rulers are not doing justice to their own people, they r
thrown out out their palaces. Why u all cant unite and fight to change

every outsider decides to walk out of any state, so will the

Umakant Bhav, you might have forgotten that the Hindi is our national
language and marathi is a regional language. Just you think, which is
weighing more? In the Assembly hall no one insulted marathi language
and taking oath in Hindi language is pride to our country as such it
is national language. Please stop your useless writing in the future.
This is a NATIONAL SHAME.

Abu Azmi knows marathi
By: adaamin | Monday , 9 Nov '09 17:49:41 PM
It was wrong from the part of Abu Azmi to take oath in Hindi, when he
knew Marathi. He was just indirectly challenging MNS.
Re: Abu Azmi knows marathi
By: Neeza | Monday , 9 Nov '09 18:43:22 PM
If the constitution allows to take oath in any language it lists, why
should MNS dictate terms. Last November when Mumbai was under seige
where was this MNS and Raj. The people who sacrificed their life in
this crisis was not Marathi's alone. We were together as a country
then. Now what happened?
Stop this all plz....

Abu and Raj are both Gundas of different nature and adopt different
tactics. While Abu is known for his links with Anti-Nationals sitting
in other country and Raj hits and beats his own Nationals on issues
which arouses hate against him. This incident is a serious wake-up
call for the Indian voters to be sensible and review on their
decisions on sending such kinds of legislators in the Assembly. The
incident is a shame to us the voter themselves and no one else.

I am just surprised to see educated people like you all are actually
jusifying this in any way. What is unque abt our country is that it
accepts people from different backgrounds, regions, religions et all.
I think more tha anything else, we are Indians first, and then
anything else. What happened today in Maharashtra goes against the
spirit of being an Indian. You guys should be ashamed of justifying
this in any way, what so ever.

Why there is no outrage
By: AKK | Monday , 9 Nov '09 17:39:21 PM
Raj thakre is only partly to blame. Main problem is Congress, only
party who controls power in the country now do not believe election
are means to implement the policy and develoment agenda you believe
in. Instead they believe elections as end to be achieved by any means.
What ever happens to the country as consequence does not matter. Even
Rahul Gandhi is concentrating on winning elections in different states
instead of paying attention to Governance by his party. In the first
40 years of Congress monopoly at least media and intellectuals kept
check on Government. But in this second inning of single party rule of
congress media and intellectual have given Govt a pass. It is very
grim situation now. Any body can do any thing to put large communities
through hardships just to win election and Congress will let it go
since it helps them. And no one dare them. Though I am not a fan of Mr
Amar Singh but it seems only he is the mard left in ploitics or media.
Ban MNS
By: Abhijit | Monday , 9 Nov '09 17:36:05 PM
Time has come to ban MNS as SIMI was banned. These are anti-national
activities and any organisation or individual involved should be
banned. I agree with the argument that a legistlator in Maharastra
should know marathi but taking oath in a language is matter of
personal choice. Jinna spoke in English when he address Pakistani
nation for the first time in 1947. Does that make him any less
relevant in the minds of pakistanis. MNS is a goonda party and it
needs to be banned.

Hats off to MNS and all the Marathis. This is so outrageous that a man
is speaking Hindi- his mother tongue, how dare is he. Its a sorry
state of sensibilities. They have taken the neo age jingoism to an all
time high level. They are the true son of the soil. They should be
awarded Bharat Ratna if our jurisprudence is not potent enough to
prosecute them. Indian Gov. should announce Rewards for slapping Hindi
speaking fellows in each and every part of India. Enforce and promote
local languages. Go back to medieval times. There's a common language
required any country to prosper. Forget it. Every single dialect of
the smallest region should be recognized and to avoid communication
gap Every Indian should learn at least 1,652 languages.

Is hindi our National Language? because in one of the news channel
they were reporting that Raj Thackeray has said that it is not. And i
sincerely feel that people like Ram Vilas Paswan, Laloo, Nitish Kumar
should keep their mouth shut. Instead of eating 'gay bhaise ka chara'
they should had worked for the development of their state and in the
direction of generating employment. If they had been honest there was
no need for people from UP and Bhihar to come here and get

How far can MNS go with this wild, uncivilized behavior? Does the
youth care that MNS slapped a representative of the common man? Have
they yet again showed that they belong to the uneducated masses who
have some how achieved a place in politics and they can now show off
their power? Would taking an oath in Marathi improve the inflation
rate? What message are we giving out here, not only to the rest of
India but the world which is keeping India and Mumbai especially,
under a constant microscope? That we are racist towards our National
Language. So people in the West or Australia, keep being racist with
us, because that is how we like to break bread each day. Such a shame!

Everyone noticed the violence, rebel from MNS team in the Assembly.
However no one comments on the revolt by Abu Azmi on speaking Marathi
in Maharashtra. He has the Guts to go against the rule of the land.
Can you do so in Australia/ Germany / China . What MNS is trying to do
here is just save our local language from diminishing. We are not
asking the President / Prime Minister to take an oath in Marathi. Due
intimation and advice was given to the concern to take oath in
Marathi. Going against it was not only an Insult to Maharashtrian but
also the State Image in the country. No one should be spared from it.
If MNS leader is punished for the same then Abu Azmi should also be
penalized adequately for the insulting the state law. Also all other
states where such violence is created due action needs to be taken on
all such parties for the violence. This is just the Start and this
will not STOP
True Nationalist

It's a very unfortunate incident, which is hurting our nationalist
feelings. I suggest to Raj appreciators to investigate his past, I
guess he got his school education in English medium.There is no
question of pride in promoting one's language, you should use it in
your homes. National language must be promoted in every state
otherwise this kind of people may divide our already divided beloved
country on religious lines this kind of mindset further disintegrate
the unity. I am Maharashtrian but still wish that Raj should stop this
kind of selfishness, and waste his leadership qualities in this kind
of trivial things. Because promotion of marathi in uncivilized manner
will not serve cause of marathi it will create hatred towards
maharashtrians in rest of India. Because Raj will not dare to promote
marathi in this way in other states if this new MLA has little courage
he should show it at least in Delhi bound railway compartment while
traveling. So Mr Raj stop doing impractical things.

If Indian politics is to be ruled by directives of MNS and Raj Thakray
let assume that Maha goes to Sena and MNS. Is that what verdict people
of Maharashtra has given? Its near mockrey of constitution by enraged
members of assembly. We would not act since we have set precident in
states not to accept India as Nation and Hindi as National Language.
We fell short in democracy after 61 years of Independece. Shame on the
political system to give shelter to such ideologies. Then blame only
Naxals or terrorists for war against nation? Also add some parties and
persons aiming at sanctity and decorum of our constitution. What you
can except from parties like MNS, Sena and BJP? Divide the country
again on the basis of ideologies and division, create seperate sub
nationalities and let these goons and self styled speakers of social
voice and concern act on it.

If this MLA Abu Azmi (what was his name before Azmi was borne to his

speaking in the tongue of that land. Even if he did not know Marathi,
he should have read from Hindi or Arabic script. If Abu Azmi does not
know Marathi, then on what special considerations he was elected as
MLA? How doe he want to communicate with his electorate? Even if Abu
Azmi is indeed an arrogant idiot owing allegiance to Saudis, slapping
him in legislature building can not be condoned. That is unIndian. He
should have been slapped harder immediately outside of the building! I
find Azmi guy worse than Thackery guy. One deserves the other.

Jharkhand, Chattisgarh should be thrown out. Butr all such things are

punish other. Just thrash Raj Thackrey and suspend MNS from taking
parts in the proceedings of the State Assembly and UNion Government
should impose a ban on such idiotic and hypocrites who devide society
sometime by religion, sometime by region and sometime by language. If

By: Aditya | Monday , 9 Nov '09 17:01:55 PM
Why has Hindi suddenly become taboo in our Assembly? Just because some
people do not have a stronger political agenda with respect to
development and progress, language is a bigger problem! Our country
was built on principles of unity in diversity! Lets not forget the
country is free and fair to all Indians, be it Marathi or any other
region. Nobody, or no state is more important than our country as a
whole.. This sort of politics and propaganda will only take our
progress backwards. Being a Maharashtrian myself, I am ashamed that we
think we need the help and support of parties and cheap politics to
compete as equals among other deserving Indians in Maharashtra. I
believe Merit and not Marathi should be the yardstick in measuring
actions and results. And worse of all we do not need to compare
ourselves with others. Lets rise above the other states and being a
good example of harmony and progress instead of cry-babies, insisting
somebody stole our lollypop!

This is not a slap on Abu Azmi, but a slap on the Indian-ness of

being a Marathi Manoos entitles them to chase everyone away and force
people towards dis-integration, then all I would say is 'I feel sorry
for the state and our people'. Probably all Marathi manoos from other
states of India and every country of the world should come back and
dare not cross the border. Raj Thakre and MNS, I hope you do realise,
that you are creating a dark future for Maharashtrians everywhere.

There are 14 languages listed in the constitution as our national
languages including Marathi, Hindi, Tamil etc. Would he ever dare
speaking or taking oath in Hindi in any of the 5 southern states? If
he does not want to speak in the local language despite staying in
Maharashtra for more than 25 years why is he staying and contesting
from Maharashtra? Marathi is the Raaj-Bhaashaa (Official language of
the Maharashtra state) and he must repsect it. What MNS has done is

visiting every day for business purpose not to travel there. Not to
allow incoming flights to their states neither busses nor trains
should not allow to pass out of maharastra. Then I will appreciate so
called these policians who is making money with their dirty politics
to develop the Maharastra. We the Indians are involved to develop the
country.We can live work any where under the constitution. If these
Sena talking about muslim Pakistan why his maharastrians working in

Oath in Marathi in Maharashtra
By: Chandramohan Shinde | Monday , 9 Nov '09 16:45:12 PM
If one looks at earlier news items on this incident without any bias,
one will find that the hornet nest was stirred by Abu Azmi himself by
declaring in the media that he will take oath in Hindi. It was his
publicity stunt.MNS got a point to prove itself to be the sole
protector of Marathi in Maharashtra assembly and they used it well. In
the past, Azmi threatened to import people with lathis from Azamgarh
and challenged local sentiments. He is not a saint, the whole nation
has seen him snatching papers of Women's Reservation Bill from members
in the parliament.

in the expectation of Education, Infrastructure developments,
stabalizing the Food grain prices. Let them help poor to come up in
the country and earn money for their daily needs. Gundagardi anybody
can do. MNS is not looking to help Maharashtrians but they are going
to destroy them. Only they need Money not Maharashtrians Improvement.
That is only a face wash in the name of Maharashtrians. Wake up True
Maharashtrians. Nobody has real partiotism. Only they are looking
their safety and we are at receiving end. Our families safety is our
safety. Do not any politician those who are promising more than what
they can do.

Raj did right
By: suraj | Monday , 9 Nov '09 16:40:03 PM
Well I support Raj as it is extremely necessary to preserve the
identity of Marathi Manoos and Maharashtra. If you go to southern part
of India, you will find only regional laguage everywhere, not even
english. I would like to ask others whether they are ashamed to learn
the regional language of Maharashtra.

what wrong has MNS done?
By: MANDAR | Monday , 9 Nov '09 16:39:33 PM
Why everyone is making fuss over the act of MNS? NO one said a single
word when a Minister in karnataka lost his ministry for he didn't know
KANNADA.But when MNS demanded that each MLA should take oath in
MArathi,then these hypocrites cried foul.i was listening ti a reort by
NIKIHL WAgle ,the editor in chief of IBN-LOKMAT.He said that such
violent act is not justified in Maharashtra.In democracy one should
defeat the opponent in the battle of thoughts.Those who are unable to
do this,opt for the way of violence.BUT MR.Wagle,ye "lato ke bhoot
bato se nahi mante" .In marathi there is proverb "CHMABHRACHYA DEVALA
KHETARACHI PUJA". Same is true for ABU AZMI and all these Hyppocrites.
MR azami its time you should learn some respect for the land which is
livelihood.
MNC is correct
By: Indian | Monday , 9 Nov '09 16:39:30 PM
If Marati is not respected in Maharastra then where it will get
respect. Refusing to take oath in regional language is Hindi Fanatism.
This Hindi fanatics want destroy marati, telugu, tamil , kannada. They
want to dominate india and use term " National Langauge " as weapon
There are 25 national languages in india.

Dear Mr. Ganesh one could understand your feelings on the issue of
Marathi Manoos but the manner in which contingent of MNS MLAs have
protested does not deserve to be appreciated. What kind of message is
being sent out by this act? Anyhow, blame could not only be attributed
to MNS, they might have the reasons to raise its voice for safeguards
of Marathi Language, Marathi culture and preference in job for locals.
But since MNS now has become an officially part of democratic system
they have to behave in a manner, which is supposed to do from People
%u2019s Representative. But the flip side of the coin is that the both
MNS and Mr. Abu Azmi living and surviving in a notion, where they both
knows that no one will know, hear and discuss them until they are made
such kind of nautanki and statements. For example you just see today
all the news websites carrying this story at top space and tomorrow
whole country will get to know about the person who slapped Mr. Azmi
and at the same time Mr. Azmi

Wrong perception
By: Ganesh | Monday , 9 Nov '09 16:36:33 PM
All those who have commented here ignore the intent behind this. Abu
Azmi had plainly denied taking the oath in Marathi. It's not that he
wanted to honour Hindi. His sole intention was to show that he can get
away with the disrespect he has shown to Marathi. There have been
instanes in Maharashtra assembly when MLA's have taken oaths in
languages other than Marathi. But there was never such opposition. The
reason is that nobody demonstrated the intentions that Abu Aazmi has.
He is a true anti national. He had earlier talked about importing
10,000 gundas from Azamgarh with lathis for hooliganism. It is since
then, this oppsition has started. Please note, this not against Hindi,
but it is against the arrogance and audacity of Abu Azmi. He
thoroughly deserves it.

fighting for privillage of marathi. it is easy to talk about negetive
about rajsaheb. the feelings of rajsaheb can be understand only those
who suffers from all these problesm

what is harm in speaking in an local language marathi? you were
elected by the locals of that state. Speaking in marathi is the least
thing they should do. I don't care even this is term as racism. MNS
RULES FOREVER.

Be ready for another Partition
By: Saurabh Anand | Monday , 9 Nov '09 16:30:55 PM
The ongoing incident occurring in Maharastra by the so called son of
the soil, is going to have the another fragmentation of this nation.
Last time we had the division on the basis of religion. This time when
the division is going to take place then a small region will call it
self as an independent nation. May be i am exaggerating but if such
kind of things are not taken in iron hand manner then such kind of
divisive elements will create big threat to the nation. Please think
about the nation above such petty politics. Don't behave like the
Britishers who once created the two nations.
A Maharashtrian from Germany
By: A Bhonsle | Monday , 9 Nov '09 16:30:32 PM
I am not surprised by this incident as MNS wants to come back a
largest party in next elections. I expect Raj will be "Bhindrawale" of
next decade. I as a Maharashtrian lived in several parts of the world
during last 20 years and came across many Indians from Maharashtra,
who hopelessly failed to utter a single word of German or French even
making their living out of this land. I do not say that they did this
with purpose but it is not so easy as said: This is true not only for
Maharashtrians in general but also for most of the Indians living in
non English speaking countries. They also fail to adopt to local food
and social values miserably. DO you think all Indians (Maharashtrians)
should be slapped and kicked out of each and any part of the world? I
guess so if I see comments from my feloow Marathi (Indian) brothers
and sisters. I think such myopic thinking can only come from people
who possibly never ventured out of their village to earn a living or
have no idea of the global world

Mr Bhonsle,you have not understood what raj wants to say, anybody who
respects marathi, and marathi culture is maharashtrian,but people like
azmi is so stubborn that they wont learn marathi means this is what he
deserves secondly you stay in german,hope you too have learnt german
language y bcoz u need to learn to stay back in germany... thats all
raj wants to say..respect loge to respect milega
Well said Bhonsle

well said Bhonsle, if these freak marathi manoos could improve their
lives working overseas, do you think that only their language is the
criteria by which they earn? Where else is marathi spoken in the
World? What is the percentage of population in India itself understand
this kai zalo re language? Only illiterate people sits with these type
of issues.

Dear Mr. Bhonsle, In your language "such myopic thinking" can not come
only from people who possibly never ventured out of their village. But
IT IS COMING FROM A PERSON WHO HAS TRAVELLED FROM AUSTRALIA TO THE US
FOR LAST 25 YEARS. MAINLY INTERACTING WITH "WHITES" AND "LOCALS" AND
NOT WITH OTHER INDIANS. YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT GERMANY? WHY WAS HITLER
BORN? THE SAME PAIN AS MARATHI PEOPLE ARE GOING THROUGH, GAVE BIRTH TO
HITLER. AND WHAT WRONG HAS HAPPENED TO GERMANY? EVEN TODAY THEY RULE
THE WORLD AND NOT AMERICANS. NAME A PRODUCT CATEGORY AND THE BEST
PRODUCT IS LINKED TO GERMAN PERFECTION AND PRIDE. NOT TO "CHEAP" COST.
SAME WITH MARATHI PEOPLE. WE GIVE "BEST" QUALITY BUT THESE NON-MARATHI
BUGGERS ARE SPOILING OUR ECONOMY. IF WE ARE ALLOWED TO WORK
INDEPENDENTLY, 2ND GERMANY WILL BE IN MAHARASHTRA.

Why has the MSN guy who slapped Abu, not been arrested for assault?
Doesn't the law prevent one person from assaulting another? Imagine if
MNS can beat up an MLA, what will they do to a non-politician! I'm not
saying whether MNS's agenda (of Marathi Manoon first) is right or
wrong ... but they have no right to manhandle anyone or destroy
other's property.
All politicians from shud be arrested then!

If this is physical assault and MNS legislator should be arrested then
this is a everyday situation in assesmblies of Bihar and UP and all
still all leaders from these states are happily living their life...
and that is what MNS is trying to avoid...If you dont want this to
happen everyday in Maharashtra assesmbly then these guys shud start
respecting the values of the state they are trying to represent! We
dont want Maharashtra to convert to Bihar!
Take Maharastra Away
By: Shashikant Kumar | Monday , 9 Nov '09 17:15:53 PM Reply | Forward
I ask people supporting this kind to make attempt to take Maha away
from India. Is'nt it part of India. You have not owned it..yet. Maha
has worst political situation then Bihar..do not take services of a
Bihari for granted. We as a country are dependent on each
other...power you are burning in Maha comes from our coal, steel,
food,etc we have given to nation at the cost of state. We biharis are
pillar of nation building who have take the toll on constructing
India. Otherwise how punjab would have produced wheat, maha would have
their taxis and bhaji pav. Guys lets not target each other else things
can turn worse and you know Maha'tra is not India. Get your peice of
land seperate from nation and talk of stopping who you want or do not
want in your place...Luv
