The whole issue was instigated by Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi. His statment that he wants to have Hindi mandatory in Mumbai BMC and that they will use force and drive away marathis from the BMC. He also made inflammatory statements about using lathis. Mumbai is a capital of Maharastra and its official language is Marathi.These kinda statments from a party which does not exist in Maharastra is uncalled for. It would definately upset the local population and political parties, imagine marathis gathering in a lucknow rally and making speeches to throw these bhayyas , biharis from rulling their state and making use of marathi mandatory in lucknow govt offices. Ask these parties to make a statement in kolkatta, chennai and see how locals react. For more details watch the CNN IBN Abu Amzi rally video.
The MNS vs SP fight which initially started took a bad turn and media reported it as marathis vs north indians. Media in India nowdays are baised and dont show the true picture. They showed MNS and Raj as a villian. Why these news channel didnt show the Abu Azmi rally speech ? Ask any north indian living in mumbai, have they been threatened. No because Mumbai is a peaceful city and those living in this city can understand.Mumbai has always welcome anyone and everyone from all the part of the country.
