Thackereys are migrants!




Where did that one come from? The pretenders to the throne have been unmasked. So much for crying out for the Marathi Manoos!

If one were to believe the news doing the rounds right now:
“The Thackerays came to Mumbai two generations ago for jobs and as such have no right to assault those coming to the financial capital in search of livelihood.”


Now since the very credibility of being a pure “Maratha” comes under question, I cannot wait for clarifications from the SS/MNS camp to come forward. Maybe Raj Thackerey will come forward and tell his numerous supporters that one should forget the past and concentrate on the current problem of migrants. Or maybe, he will go back to being a ‘pillar’ under the Tiger!


What does one say about all that noise created under the banner of the “Marathi Manoos”, and all the unnecessary trouble caused to the migrants? If nothing else, i think Raj T owes an unconditional apology to all those who had to suffer directly like the labour classes, as well as those who were affected indirectly, like those whose carpenters, Bais, Milkman, Vegetable vendors, disappeared suddenly, leaving everything and everyone in a fix.


What MNS successfully managed to do was create trouble for its own masses. Losses for Maharashtrian businesses. And a lot of anti MNS sentiments. I hope that this incident drills in some sense into this man and he can put an end to his tireless tirade against outsiders.


He forgets, that there is a “Rashtra” in Maharashtra.


I wonder what the MNS supporters have to say now?


Anyone?
