Its only now that the media is bringing to notice a very convinently forgotten fact.
Violence started after Samajwadi Party leaders and North Indian like Abu Asim Azmi, Mulayam Singh and Amar Singh made outragious speaches of vowing to throw all Marathis out of Mumbai and to distribute lathis to North Indians in the Samajvadi Party meeting at Dadar in Mumbai.
Please see the CNN-IBN viedio clip which will show that speach.
Violence started after this outrageous statements by north Indians.
Imagine you taking 25,000 Hindi speaking Bhaiyas to Bangalore or Hyderabad or Chennai. And there make a statement that you will throw out all Telghus out of Hyderabad or throw out all Tamils out of Chennai or throw out all Kannadigas out of Bangalore..!!!! and then say Hyderabad, Chennai and Banglore are not anyones personal propertey. Its that outrageous.
Media has been selectively biased against Maharstrians and Marathi on large. Where Anti Raj news was put out with the maximum vissibility. The provocation from North Indians was very very conviniently ignored.
