| Mumbai: It seems the policy of separatism has gone deep into the minds of some, and after a series of demands for separate statehood, MNS has gone a step ahead by hinting a separate country, especially for the Marathis.
Failing to resist himself from indulging in battle of words, MNS chief Raj Thackeray gave a veiled threat that the day might not be far when his party would start demanding a separate Maharashtra from the rest of India. While talking to the media, Raj Thackeray threw a direct hint at separation of Maharashtra from India. He stated that the politicians will be responsible for their provocative anti-Marathi remarks if there are demands for a separate nation.
Raj Thackeray had earlier attacked Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi for his remarks on the Marathi row. Accusing of interfering into the matters of Maharashtra, Raj had questioned Rahul Gandhi's contribution towards Maharashtra and his sudden involvement in the matters of the state.
Taking clue from Rahul Gandhi's comment that even north Indian commandos fought against the militants to save Mumbai, Raj added that Rahul Gandhi is an outsider and he does not have any right to belittle Maharahstra and its people. He also referred to the Maharashtrian police officers, who sacrificed a lot during the Mumbai terror attack.
Justifying his initiative to take up the cause of Marathis, Raj took on Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani who is staying out of India and earning money in Maharashtra and Gujarat. |
