The SMS was sent in response to caustic emails & SMS’s circulating against Raj Thackeray & Maharashtrian people during Mumbai attacks..
These SMS’s were like: Where is Raj Thackeray hiding now & where is the Marathi Manoos? The NSG team has North Indians, why should they fight for Mumbai now?

I believe, the MNS response to those SMS’s was :
1. Regarding where is the Marathi Manoos: All the cops who died were Marathi
2. Regarding where is Raj Thackeray: He got MNS to organize blood donation camps & blah.. blah blah.

But when you remove the context (that this SMS was in response to the earlier caustic SMS’s), & alter some words(Instead of the actual “All policemen killed”, you put “All those killed”), you can show it in very poorlight.

I guess Raj Thackeray is losing the propaganda battle
And because he is not talking to Hindia/English channels, they get to twist his words more heavily, coz he is only talking to Marathi papers which only Maharashtrians read

Why are these people still clamoring about who is a marathi or who is a bihari? are the not all indians? there is no doubt (if we go by regions), that brave marathi souls too laid down their lives in making mumbai safe, but the comments of mrs. sharmila thackrey are uncalled for and show her lack of knowledge. it is another fact that a person called raj thackrey did not have the guts to come out and assist those in need at the hour of need.

I totally agree with Mr. Bachchan. The lady is politicizing the hole issue. With people like these the core issue is lost.

I have the same Question…Where as Raj Thackeray when Mumbai was burning??? Is not Terrorism the major issue right now? rather than Maharashtra for Marathis???

Its better for all of us if Raj Thackeray lives in his cocoon rather than come out of it and make useless demands once in a while.

Mr. Bachchan is totally right. Blog on Mr. Bachchan. The world needs more people like you.

God bless you.

a number of people are not visible for different reasons..

1. MNS chief Raj Thackeray and his army .Where were they when the terrorists were being fought by the NSG commandos.
Why are they trying to stoop so low as to show people that the three brave police officers killed were “Marathi” ?
Why didn’t MNS cadres come and engage the terrorists ?
They are only good at breaking taxi and shop windows.

2. Amar singh .. Must have been a shock to see terrorists openly shooting and killing . This cannot be explained away as a hindu terror plot. Its time we ignored the religious identities of all perpetrators of these heinous crimes and give them the punishment they deserve.A terrorist by whatever name called ,has no religion.

Other than fanning linguistic passions and trying to divide the country, attacking BIG B, and creating needless heartbreak to him, what else is Raj Thackeray’s claim to fame. Where is he and his clan in the last one week? He is a creature who is an insult to humanity. If he is really the champion of the Maharashtrian cause, he and his supporters shud have been on the streets on those 3 fateful nights, trying to mobilise efforts to shift the people to the hospital and trying to ensure that the citizens reach their homes safely. A Tiger will always be a Tiger and a Mouse will never fake to be a Tiger. Raj Thackeray is a mouse who is not fit to live inside a gutter also.

Hi,
I just wanna say People like Raj Thackeray are bigger terrorists.It is just a request to all the people of Maharashtra that please make sure people like him don’t win in elections.
As far as Mr. Thackeray is concerned I would just like to say when a terrorist shoots at our people then the bullet doesn’t discriminate between a Marathi or a Bihari.It is shot at us because we are Indians.

Needless to say that the 26/11 incident in Mumbai is very tragic and all responsible for this tragedy must be punished.
Should not the investigation turn in the basic direction- focussing who is the beneficiary from this attack , and who is presently taking advantage of this attack. An investigation in this direction will certainly help bring out the truth and conspiracy.

Ask Sharmila Thackeray, where was her brave husband Raj Thackeray hiding after putting all the terrorists in place with bag and baggage. He played the character of Jai Chand and called these terrorists to help him in his mission “Marathis will stay in Maharashtra” and as claimed by Jhansi ki raani Sharmila Thackeray that only Marathis died during the operation, it is proved that the Marathis are incapable of rescuing themselves and died in the operation – those who can not save their lives how they can save the lives of others. If she has little shame and little respect for the country and those who sacrificed their lives then she should shut up and stop politicising this issue.

This is bullshit. What did Amitabh Bachcan and his famed SP workers do.

MNS workers did a lot of work.
