Speaking first time after the gag order was lifted after his recent arrest, belligerent Maharastra politician Raj Thackeray continued his tirade against north Indians.He also blasted north indian Politicians and took on Indian government minister Lalu Prasad saying that there was a political conspiracy against Bihari students coming to Mumbai to give their railway exams.
Under attack for his campaign against north Indians, MNS chief Raj Thackeray on Friday softened his stand on 'Chhat' puja, saying that he was not opposed to the festival being celebrated in Maharastra but warned against it being used as a show of political strength."I have never opposed Chhat Puja but only spoke against political 'tamasha' (stunt) associated with it....People from Bihar who live here can perform the religious rituals according to the customs. My party has never opposed it," he told reporters in Mumbai.
The MNS chief, whose detention under National Security Act has been demanded by some union ministers in the wake of attacks on north Indians in Maharashtra, warned that he would not tolerate disregard of the Marathi speaking people in the state.
The Chhat festival will be celebrated on November 4.
Earlier Politicians belonging to North Indian states have demanded his arrest under National security act.
Recent violence against North Indians seems to found an echo in the Union cabinet meeting on Thursday, with PM Manmohan Singh writing a letter to Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh demanding the situation be brought under control.
Government sources have demanded that senior Ministers in the government have called for the arrest of MNS chief Raj Thackeray under the National Security Act (NSA).
The cabinet also reportedly demanded a judicial probe into the police killing of Patna youth Rahul Raj who had tried to hijack a bus in Mumbai swearing vengeance at the Maharashtra Navanirman Sena (MNS) chief.

this claiming-to-be-well-read-intelligent-visionary but a cheap wanna be 'politician' Raj Thackeray continues to gives fiery speeches, cites examples from history of all over the world but the fact is that he doesn't have a clue. He tells the frustrated Maharshtrians what he thinks is the cause of all of the problems of Maharashtra. Of course he tells them so because when growing up, 'politician' uncle Bala told him so. Of course Bala uncle didn't have a clue either, somebody in a lungi molested him in his own childhood and he tried taking revenge on all lungi's when he grew up.
The stupid cunt has made it sound like Mumbai is fucking Singapore or Dubai and Bihar cum UP are as bad as Africa, the differences are that bad!! it can't even be faked!! Its common knowledge that the British developed Bombay city as a port and well, we can thank them and all of the communities in Mumbai since independence who made it the great city it is now. (of course that includes the Marathi community also which has always been here in big numbers) while farmers continue to commit suicide, youth instigated by such netas as Raj himself carry on the violence, the truth is that rural and semi urban Maharashtra has some of the highest number of Rapes and Murders in the country while development just isn't reaching these inner parts of the state, it's limited to major urban centers like Puna, Nashik, Mumbai only...

i can't understand those peoples who are in support of that fellow raj.
i request them, they should not try to divide india into small pieces otherwise that day will come soon when people need get their visa cleared to travel from karnatak to mumbai or up to delhi.... PLS THINK twice before commenting in support of such politician.. be a human being first.. else there will remain no human to say i am "Marathi' or I am 'Bengali'.. Persons like Raj are only & only a politician. They have nothing to do with any cast or religion. He is doing this only for his fame n political needs.
ATLEAST EDUCATED PEOPLE MUST NOT COMMENT LIKE THIS.
Raj is a sycic person. OLD people like u should not try to poisionise the thougths of upcoming generation with these kind of thing... If raj really wants to do someting for maraties then he must have helped them in educating upto that leve upto which they can face the competative exams so that people from outside mumbai will find it hard to beat exams and score more than 'marathies'. But the thruth is that insted of giving books he has provided guns n wepons to them. Its only their illitracy that they can't understand this cheap politician, who is FOOLING them in the name of racialism....
PLEASE AWAKE YOUSELF AGAINST THESE PEOPLES....
