"Lot of poison in BJP's mind for Maharashtra": Aaditya Thackeray

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 6 (ANI): Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray on Sunday slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for comparing the Pahalgam terror attack to incidents of violence in Maharashtra amid the ongoing language controversy, and said that the ruling party holds 'a lot of poison' in its mind towards the state. He further questioned the ruling BJP in the centre over the delay in arresting the terrorists responsible for the Pahalgam terror attack. 'There is a lot of poison in the BJP's mind when it comes to Maharashtra. Today, the BJP has compared Maharashtra to the terrorists in the Pahalgam incident - the terrorists whom the BJP could not catch or stop. It has been three months since the Pahalgam incident, but where did those terrorists go? Nobody knows if they fled to Pakistan or joined the BJP. But comparing them to Maharashtra shows the malice and poison that the BJP has for the state,' Thackeray told reporters here. Amid the political sparring over Hindi imposition charge by the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, Maharashtra Minister Ashish Shelar on Sunday compared the agony of the Pahalgam terror attack, where Hindus were killed in the name of religion, and those getting 'beaten up' in the name of language. He said that these incidents were distressing for him. 'All these incidents cause pain, suffering, and mental distress. In Pahalgam, they shot them after asking about their religion. And here, they beat up the innocent Hindus just because of the language they speak. Such cases create a disturbance,' Shelar said. His remarks come after some incidents of violence and vandalism were reported in the state amid the ongoing Hindi-Marathi controversy. Five workers of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) were arrested in connection with the vandalism at entrepreneur Sushil Kedia's office in Worli, police said on Saturday. A case has been registered against them under Sections 223, 189(2), 189(3), 190, 191(2), 191(3), and 125 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023. Kedia, who found himself in the middle of the language row in Maharashtra over his recent remarks against MNS and its chief Raj Thackeray, stated that he made these comments in haste and has now realised his mistake. In another incident, as per a viral video, a group of men allegedly associated with a regional party beat up a shop owner for not speaking in Marathi. The incident occurred in the Mira-Bhayandar area near Mumbai. On Friday, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis warned of strict legal action against those engaging in 'hooliganism' in the name of Marathi. He said that the Mahayuti government will not tolerate violence against commoners. Although the Maharashtra government withdrew its April 16 orders on the implementation of the three-language policy that made Hindi a 'mandatory' third language for school students in Classes 1 to 5 studying in English and Marathi medium schools, the political controversy over the same has brought together long-time estranged Thackeray cousins after nearly two decades. Shiv Sena (UBT) Chief Uddhav Thackeray and MNS chief Raj Thackeray on Saturday shared the stage together at the Worli Dome in Mumbai as they held a joint rally in protest against the 'Hindi imposition'.

Actor-BJP neta dares: ‘I don't speak Marathi. Throw me out'

Mumbai: Looking to turn the tables on the Thackeray cousins, has raised the issue of Marathi vs north Indians and Gujaratis as it seeks to consolidate its voters among non-Marathi communities. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now On Saturday, former BJP MP from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh and Bhojpuri actor , also known as Nirahua, waded into the language controversy, saying no one should indulge in such dirty politics. "The beauty of India is its unity in diversity. No one should do such dirty politics. I am a politician and an actor. Politics must be for the good of people. Mein Marathi nahin bolta. Kisi mein dum hai toh mujhe se nikaal ke dikhaaye (I do not speak Marathi. I challenge them to throw me out of Maharashtra)," said Yadav. Earlier, share market investment analyst Sushil Kedia had also challenged MNS, which is spearheading the agitation against the introduction of Hindi as a third language in schools, saying neither does he know Marathi nor will he speak it. After his office was vandalised on Satuday, he apologised. The Thackeray cousins joined political forces over the "imposition" of Hindi in schools and scored a victory over BJP when CM Devendra Fadnavis withdrew two govt resolutions that allowed Hindi to be taught in school from Class 1 as a third language. With local body elections likely to be held later this year, BJP, which is keen to win the BMC elections, has been quick to work to consolidate the north Indian voters who have not forgotten the thrashing that many from their community in Mumbai were subjected to at the hands of MNS several years ago. Fadnavis, while saying they were proud of Marathi, came down heavily on those opposing Hindi, which he said is also an Indian language. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Mumbai metropolitan region, which has 11 municipal corporations, has a significant Hindi-speaking north Indian population from UP, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. There is a strong and influential Gujarati population in Mumbai and Thane. Meanwhile, in Solapur, BJP minister Girish Mahajan said many MLAs and MPs from Sena (UBT) are in touch with him and they do not trust Thackeray's leadership. "The results of the upcoming zilla parishad, panchayat samiti, and municipal elections will show how much public trust each leader holds," he said. (With inputs from agencies)

Oppn must unite to save Bengal, says Samik

1 2 Kolkata: With the state heading for polls in 2026, Bengal BJP president Samik Bhattacharya on Sunday called for "greater unity" among the opposition to "save West Bengal" and "Bengali asmita". Speaking at an event to celebrate the birth anniversary of Syama Prasad Mookerjee, Bhattacharya also urged Trinamool members to join hands to save Bengal. "We will have enough time for politics. But we will have to save the state even before that. Where will the political parties go if Bengal is disintegrated?" he said. "I am even asking Trinamool workers to protect Bengali asmita," he added. Last week, during his maiden speech as state president, Bhattacharya had emphasised the need to put aside political differences and "save the state".

Fundamentalists forced Hindus to leave the country. Pramod Dasgupta and Jyoti Basu fled Bangladesh. Even (Dum Dum MP) Saugata Roy's forefathers left Bangladesh and took shelter in India," he said at Sunday's programme in Lake Town. Referring to the vote on the Partition in the Bengal legislative assembly on June 20, 1947, Bhattacharya said Basu had defied his party line. "Today, efforts are being made to forget that history, and they (Trinamool) are celebrating Poila Baisakh (April 15) as Pashchimbanga Divas," he said. "Islamic fascism is gripping Bangladesh and should not touch Bengal. A single political party cannot stop that; it needs people from across the political spectrum to join the fight," he said, calling for the opposition to unite. "I pay tribute to those MLAs who voted for Syama Prasad's proposal despite being elected as Congress members. I pay tribute to Jyoti Basu and Ratanlal Brahma, who voted to create West Bengal," Bhattacharya said. "Those who have been demanding education in their mother tongue are now opposing the New Education Policy," he added.
